The legacy it shall remain represent the travelers' name
He's the mist from dawn to dusk in all of us what a legendary name
He's a drifter always on the road
Anywhere he's always looking for the next place to go
In the streets he does his tricks for applause and tips
There's a hat just put a dollar in it so he can drift again
Chim the drifter he never walks the road
Hopping trains going by hitchin' rides he's a freeloader
He goes around from town to town scamming folks until he's found out
Coins and cards and false cuts magic tricks are all he's got to survive
Traveling trickster he's a master of deceit
He's a shady man and he sure can make a fool out of you with his sleight of hand
Wandering mystery there's a legend to his name
Chim the drifter drifts forever just the same as yesterday
On the road his friends became his enemies
Never can he double back again and he's always gotta keep
Runnin runnin runnin runnin
Runnin runnin runnin runnin
Traveling trickster he's a master of deceit
He's a shady man and he sure can make a fool out of you with his sleight of hand
Wandering mystery there's a legend to his name
Chim the drifter drifts forever just the same as yesterday
Gather round folks gather round
I'm going to show you the oldest magic trick in the world
A trick that has been performed for kings and queens royalty and commoners
This trick is as old as time itself
If you go to Egypt you can actually see this trick enshrined upon the walls of Egypt inside of hieroglyphics
If they're a little farther down the walls that's right they're lower glyphics
This trick has been performed for eons with three cups and three balls
That's right three cups and just three balls
Ladies and gentlemen I present to you
The inks the blinks the watts and the knots, the cups and balls
Chim he drifted down the long and dusty road
Horizon line he came to find edge of earth he fell below
The legacy it shall remain represent the travelers name
He will live on in his legendary name
Traveling trickster he's a master of deceit
He's a shady man and he sure can make a fool out of you with his sleight of hand
Wandering mystery there's a legend to his name
Chim the drifter drifts forever drifts forever
Chim the Drifter drifts forever drifts forever
Chim the Drifter drifts forever just the same as yesterday
