lyrics

He scrubbed off every last sign of the weekend
Hardly recognizable, he punches the clock
Calls to make, hands to shake

His spirit staring through the dirty window pane
Like a child forced in by the cold rain
Just waiting on a break in the sky

The part time drifter works a full time load
Collects his coin but it stacks up slow
Says someday baby you and me
We're going to travel the seas
And do just as we please

No time to contemplate decisions he's made
Just racing away to the next pay day
A few more year a few more years

His spirit staring through the dirty window pane
Like a child forced in by the cold rain
Just waiting on a break in the sky

The part time drifter eyes the open door
Collects his coin handles his chores
Says someday baby you and me
We're going to travel the seas
And do just as we please

no closer to fortune, little time left it seems
baby's still waiting, impatiently
enough's enough, don't care if times get tough

no more staring through the dirty window pane
like a child forced in by the cold rain
just waiting on a break in the sky

now a full time drifter with baby in tow
high in spirit and low on dough
says come on baby you and me
we're going to travel the seas
and see just what we see
