I'm almost 50. About 5 years ago someone told me it wasn't "like a twister I was born to walk alone"

"Drifter" wasn't the lyric in the original version of the song released on Whitesnake's earlier record Saints & Sinners

"In an interview, Coverdale explained that initially the lyrics had "drifter" but as that was already used in different songs he chose instead "hobo", however the latter was changed again to "drifter" in the re-recorded '87 version, reportedly to ensure that it would not be misheard."
