Drift Away Lyrics by Uncle Kracker

No Stranger to Shame

2002

[Verse 1: Unckle Kracker]
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'd hate to lose
And I'm feelin' the strain
Oh, ain't it a shame?

[Chorus: Unckle Kracker]
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
Won't you take me away?

[Verse 2: Unckle Kracker]
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
You can carry me through

[Chorus: Unckle Kracker]
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
Won't you take me away?

[Bridge: Dobie Gray]
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
When I'm feelin' blue
The guitars come in through to soothe me

[Verse 3: Uncke Kracker & Dobie Gray]
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
(Ooh, the joy that you've given me)
I want you to know that I believe in your song (Oh, yeah)
Your rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony (Mmmhmm)
You helped me along (Makin' me strong)
Oh, you're makin' me strong

[Breakdown: Uncke Kracker & Dobie Gray]
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (Drift away, ooh)
And give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (Drift away)

[Chorus: Uncke Kracker & Dobie Gray]
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (Drift away, oh)
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

[Outro: Dobie Gray & Uncle Kracker]
Yeah, won't you take me?
Won't you take me?
I wanna drift away (Won't you take me away?)
I wanna drift away
I wanna drift away (Won't you take me?)
Take me home
Let me drift away
Won't you take me away?
