Letra de
Drift Away

La canción Drift Away, escrita por Mentor Williams en 1970, se convirtió en éxito en 1973 en la voz de Dobie Gray. La inspiración para la canción vino de una experiencia personal de Williams, donde buscaba consuelo en la música durante un período difícil. La canción habla sobre el poder curativo de la música y cómo puede liberar el alma de las preocupaciones diarias.

Day after day I'm more confused,
I look for the light in the pouring rain.
You know it's a game I hate to lose,
now I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame?

Oh, give me the beat boys to free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your Rock-n-Roll and
drift away.
Oh, give me the beat boys to free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your Rock-n-Roll and
drift away.

I'm beginning to think I'm was wastin' time,
I don't understand the things I do.
The world outside looks so unkind,
I'm counting on you, to carry me through.

Oh, give me the beat boys to free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your Rock-n-Roll and
drift away.
Yeah, give me the beat boys to free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your Rock-n-Roll and
drift away.

And when my mind is free,
you know melody can move me.
And when I'm feeling blue,
the guitars are coming 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, the rhyme and the harmony
You help me along, making me strong.

Oh, give me the beat boys to free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your Rock-n-Roll and
drift away.
Oh, give me the beat boys to free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your Rock-n-Roll and
drift away.
