"Drift Away" lyrics

Drift Away

Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light
Through the pouring rain
You know that's a game
I hate to lose
I'm feeling the strain
Now it's not a shame

Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost
In your rock and roll
And drift away

Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost
In your rock and roll
And drift away

I can't even think
Wasting time
I don't understand the things that I do
The world outside seems so unkind
I'm counting on you
To carry me through

Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost
In your rock and roll
And drift away

Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost
In your rock and roll
And drift away
Drift away, yeah

When my mind is free
No melody can move me
When I'm feeling blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe me, oh

Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in you so
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
Helping me along
You're keeping me strong

Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost
In your rock and roll
And drift away
Drift away, yeah

Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost
In your rock and roll
And drift away

Give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost
In your rock and roll
And drift away
Gotta drift away, yeah

Give me the beat, boys
And free my soul

Give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost
In your rock and roll
And drift away

Give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost
In your rock and roll
And drift away

Give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost
In your rock and roll
And drift away
