Drift Away Songtext
von Billy Joe Royal

Day after day I′m more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know that′s a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feelin' the strain, ain′t it a shame

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

Beginnin′ to think that I'm wastin′ time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
And I′m countin' 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
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away


And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I′m feelin' blue
The guitars comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you′ve given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
The rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You helped me along, makin′ me strong

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
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

Take me, yeah, take me
Come on now and take me
Let me drift away, yeah, yeah
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
