Twentieth Century Drifter (1974)
4
Driving a race car is my way of making a living
5
My way of putting the bread on the table at home
6
I'm getting back about half as much as I'm giving
7
And I couldn't make it without a good woman at home
8
First Place could be just a dream, but I'm gonna chase it
9
Finishing out of the "Top Ten" is nothing but bad
10
In a "junker" won't ever be first, I might as well face it
11
First Class equipment is something a man's got to have
12
You might even call me a twentieth century drifter
13
Thirty-two week-ends, I load up the car and I'm gone
14
And my woman cries with each "good-bye" kiss that I give her
15
And she prays that come Monday morning I'll be drifting home
16
Well, my woman sleeps in my arms and I lie here thinking
17
Half awake, half asleep, I run and re-run the race
18
From dark until dawn, it goes on, my half-awake dreaming
19
And every so often, I dream that I'm taking First Place
20
But it's got to be more than a dream dreaming won't make it
21
Aw, dreaming won't ever put bread on the table at home
22
And racing runs deep in my veins I'll never shake it
23
I'm tied to it just like I'm tied to that woman at home
24
You might even call me a twentieth century drifter
25
Thirty-two week-ends, I load up the car and I'm gone
26
And my woman cries with each "good-bye" kiss that I give her
27
And she prays that come Monday morning I'll be drifting home
