Drift Away: Difference between revisions

This song is also a famous "goodbye" or ending song for concerts. Many bands use this a filler live for a last song, usually in prep for an encore. The reason for this is the beat, which is very catchy, and is easy to add a guitar solo on the end of to spice things up before the final note... and then the encore. It has been covered live my an incredible number of bands, and it's easy too see why! This song has become a hit among soft rock addicts.

Lyrics: Day after day I'm more confused

Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain

You know that's a game that I hate to lose

And I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

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

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, to carry me through

Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul

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

Yeah, give me the beat boys, and free my soul

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

And when my mind is free

You know a melody can move me

And when I'm feelin' blue

The guitar's comin' through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you've given me

I want you to know I believe in your song

Rhythm and rhyme and harmony

You've helped me along, you're makin' me strong

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

Oh, oh, 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

Nah nah nah, won't you, won't ya take me, oh take me
