John Kay - Drift Away lyrics

rate me

Words and music by Mentor Williams

Day after day I'm more confused

But 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…now ain't that a shame

Oh gimme the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away

Gimme the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away

Beginning to think that I'm wasting time

And I don't understand the things I do

The world outside looks so unkind

Now it's up to you…to carry me through

Chorus

And when my mind is free

You know a melody can move me

And when I'm feelin' blue

The guitars coming through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy you've given me

I want you to know I believe in song

Rhythm, rhyme and harmony

They've helped me along…they're making me strong
