I guess I'll go to California

Seems like I'm always on the run

Nobody ever needs a loser

We just exist under the sun

But someday, somehow, someone may need me

When my drifting days are done



Well, I'm aimlessly drifting

Looks like I live from day to day

Hard as I try to make a showing

Something is always in my way

Even the one I truly love now

Deals in the games that people play



Every time I love I always lose

Seems like I'll never ever win

Each I hear them lonesome blues

I'm all alone at home again

Seems like I'm just existing

Aimlessly drifting to no end



All that I ask of this old world

Is just to have a happy home

All that I ask of one little girl

Is just to be my very own

It seems just like I'm just existing

Aimlessly drifting along



Yes, I'll go to California

Seems like I'm always on the run

Nobody ever needs a loser

I just exist under the sun

But someday, somehow, someone may need me

But my drifting days be done
