Drifter
God gave you guts: don’t let Him down;
Brace up, be worthy of His giving.
The road’s a rut, the sky’s a frown;
I know you’re plumb fed up with living.
Fate birches you, and wry the rod . . .
Snap out, you fool! Don’t let down God.
Oh, yes, you’re on misfortune’s shift,
And weary is the row your hoeing;
You have no home, you drift and drift,
Seems folks don’t care the way you’re going . . .
Well, make them care —you’re not afraid:
Step on the gas —you’ll make the grade.
Believe that God has faith in you,
In you His loving light is shining;
All of you that is fine and true
Is part of Him, so quit your whining . . .
buck up, son, for your Maker’s sake:
Don’t let Him down —give God a break.
