The chorus goes
"Give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n' roll and drift away..."
Haven
Drift Away
Written by Mentor Williams
-performed by Dobie Gray
Day after day I'm more confused
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
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
Oh, 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
I'm countin' on you to carry me through
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 help me along makin' me strong
Drift Away - Dobie Gray
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 feeling the strain. Ain't it a shame?
Chorus:
Oh gimme the beat, boys, and free my soul.
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Gimme 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 wasting time.
I don't understand the things I do.
The world outside looks so unkind
and I'm counting on you to carry me through.
Chorus
Bridge:
And when my mind is free you know a melody can move me.
And when I'm feeling blue, guitar's coming through to soothe me.
Thanks for the joy that you've given me.
I want you to know I believe in your song,
and rhythm and rhyme and harmony.
You've helped me along. You're making me strong.
Chorus
Oh hey hey yeah.
Chorus
Now now now won't you, won't you take me.
Oh oh take me.
