Neville Brothers – Drift Away lyrics
Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

But give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll and drift away

Beginning to think that I'm a wasting time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Well, countin' on you to carry me through

Give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll and drift away

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
When I'm feelin' blue
A 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
Rhythm and rhyme in harmony
You helped me along, makin' me strong

Give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll and drift away
