Chorus:

I'm driftin' away

Down a long dark highway

I looked back once

I can't look anymore

And if you find me

On some lonesome shore

You wouldn't have

To look for more



You touched a dream

You broke a heart

Now wasn't that a shame

Heaven must know

I gave all I could

Can't give you more

Please don't stand outside

Of my door



Chorus:

I'm driftin' away

Down a long dark highway

I looked back once

I can't look anymore

And if you find me

On some lonesome shore

You wouldn't have

To look for more



You call on the phone

You say you're alone

What am I supposed

To do about that

Words they can cut

Cut deep like a knife

Right to the core

Please don't stand outside

Of my door



Chorus:

I'm driftin' away

Down a long dark highway

I looked back once

I can't look anymore

And if you find me

On some lonesome shore

You wouldn't have

To look for more



Don't write me a letter

I don't want to know

Don't say you've found

Somebody new

If it's somebody else

Don't tell me whowhyor

What for

Please

Don't stand

Outside of my door



Chorus:

I'm driftin' away

Down a long dark highway

I looked back once

I can't look anymore

And if you find me

On some lonesome shore

You wouldn't have

To look for more

And if you find me

On some lonesome shore

You wouldn't have

To look for more
