Drift Away by Viking and sons of Odin

“Drift Away“ Uncle Kracker version 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 hate to lose And I’m feeling the strain Ah, ain’t it a shame? Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your Rock ’n’ Roll And drift away Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your Rock ’n’ Roll And drift away Won’t you take me away? 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 Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your Rock ’n’ Roll And drift away Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your Rock ’n’ Roll And drift away Won’t you take me away? And when my mind is free You know a melody can move me When I’m feelin’ blue The guitar’s coming through to soothe me Thanks for the joy that you’re givin’ me (Oh, the joy that you’re givin’ me) I want you to know I believe in your song (Oh, yeah) Rhythm and rhyme and harmony You help me along (makin’ me strong) Ah, you’re makin’ me strong Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your Rock ’n’ Roll And drift away (Drift away, oh) Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your Rock ’n’ Roll And drift away (Drift away) Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your Rock ’n’ Roll And drift away (Drift away, oh) Just give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your Rock ’n’ Roll And drift away 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 Take me home Let me drift away Won’t you take me away? Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Mentor R. Williams Drift Away lyrics © Almo Music Corp. The lyrics are self explanatory. A performer or a person wants to escape their problems through the music … Give me the beat boys and free my soul, I want to get lost in your Rock n Roll and Drift away Is Drift Away a sad song? But here’s the thing about “Drift Away:” it’s really a sad song. Unlike every other “WHOOOOO ROCK AND ROLLL!!!” song, “Drift Away” isn’t about rocking and rolling all night long and partying every day, it isn’t about how how rock and roll will never die or even about how his life was saved by rock and roll.
