"Drift Away" is a song by Mentor Williams written in 1970 and originally recorded by John Henry Kurtz on his 1972 album Reunion. Mentor Williams was a country songwriter, and John Henry Kurtz was an actor and swamp rock singer..

[LuizGabrielBufalo]

Day after day I'm more confused

And 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, oh, 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 (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, you can 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 (drift away)

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 givin' me

I want you to know I believe in your song

Rhythm and rhyme and harmony

You help me along 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 (drift away)

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

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



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

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

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

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