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.
