Lyrics
Drifting Away
(VERSE 1)
We talk on the phone and how was your day
After that there's not much to say
We're just a drifting away
A postcard or two and some letters I wrote
Nothing special since you left for LA
We're just a drifting away
(CHORUS 1)
You had to follow your dreams, but that wasn't for me
Now you say you're at home, down in LA
And we're drifting away
(VERSE 2)
The cities too big for this small town girl
And anyway I would get lost in LA
So were drifting away
You made some new friends, I'm never around
What is wrong with our little town?
Oh we're drifting away
(CHORUS 2)
We try to hold on, what we know is gone
And you say you're at home down in LA
We're just a drifting away
(BRIDGE)
I helped you pack your old pickup, but I'd hoped you'd somehow stay
I even managed to smile and wave, as I watched you drive away
Down to LA, I watched you drift away
(VERSE 3)
We talk on the phone and how was your day
After that there's not much to say
We're just a drifting away
(CHORUS 3)
We try to hold on, what we know is gone
I don't think you're home tonight in LA
You drifted away
