'Drifting' is a story about a wandering soul set adrift in the sea of life.

LYRICS:
My voice is rough my fingers are sore I've been picking all night long
Wracking my brain and trying my hardest to write a cowboy song
I've got a well of emotions a sea of thoughts yet my paper remains bone dry
And my thoughts are unfocused and drifting away like lonely clouds in the sky

Well the working man's blues have become the young man's grind I've been working myself to the bone
With distractions and vices clouding my mind I ain't sure where I'm goin'
This life is confusing it's always been for lost and wanderin' souls
Always searching and never setting or reaching any goals

And I sit and overthink and I get lost in the drink and my mind starts to slip and fall
And I play my guitar and my spirit wanders far and I know I know nothing at all

The way is shrouded the path is narrow and comfort's one helluva drug
Keeps the light from shinin' me from movin' out of all the holes I've dug
And it's hard to keep movin' when the clay is soft but it's easy to claw your way down
With blood and tears from the sorrows of life soaking in the ground

And I play a lonesome tune alone in a dark room and the music takes me away
Like a wanderin' cowpoke I'm strong as the oak and I'll drift til I find my way
