Drift Away Lyrics by AJR

Born and Bred

2010

Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know it's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feelin' the strain, it ain't a shame
Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in rock and roll and drift away
Just give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me way
Beginning 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 you can carry me through
Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in rock and roll and drift away
Just Give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me way
And when my mind is free
Know melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
(Oh yeah) Thanks for the joy that you're bringing me
I want you to know that I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along
Oh you're makin' me strong
Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in rock and roll and drift away
Just give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in rock and roll and drift away
Oh, just give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me way
