Letra de
Drift Away

A música Drift Away, escrita por Mentor Williams em 1970, tornou-se um sucesso em 1973 na voz de Dobie Gray. A inspiração para a música veio de uma experiência pessoal de Williams, em que ele buscava conforto na música durante um período difícil. A canção fala sobre o poder curativo da música e como ela pode libertar a alma das preocupações do dia a dia.

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.
