[Verse 1]
Desdemona, where do I begin?
Who among us here is without sin?
I'm just a lonesome drifter on the only highway

[Verse 2]
Lean on me brother, 'cause I understand
You got that nine-pound hammer, swingin' in your hand
I'm just a lonesome drifter on the only highway
I'm just a lonesome drifter on the only highway

[Verse 3]
Everybody’s workin' in them cotton fields
Just a little bit different than they used to feel
Yeah
Everybody's waitin' on that rising sun
To drop down, turn red, and be done

[Verse 4]
Baby, you're not the only one
Feelin' it risin'
Risin' on you
Baby, you’rе not the only one
Feelin' it risin'
Steady risin' up, risin' on you
[Interlude]
Lеt me take this one right here

[Outro]
Lonesome drifter on the only highway
I'm just a lonesome drifter on the only highway
Lonesome drifter on the only highway
I'm just a lonesome drifter
