Cody Simpson - Driftwood Lyrics






Hey Bruce,
Untie my noose
Open up a bottle of
Whatever you choose
You see the naked truth
It's only truth sometimes
'Coz if you're looking for lies
That's what you gonna find

[Chorus:]
I gotta free my soul from the troubles of lately
Follow my heart wherever it takes me
Let it flow on by like a piece of driftwood

Just a piece of driftwood (yeah)
A piece of driftwood

You win some, you lose some
And some that you win, you really lose
You get some, you give some
You trade a little piece of your youth (oh)
It's nothing makes me happier than singing the blues
Set my big brown hat to my black pointed shoes
(I'm thinking about it)

[Chorus]

Like a piece of driftwood
A piece of driftwood
Ooh, like a piece of driftwood

Ain't no mind to these troubles on the telephone lines
The sun still shines, we got board and grind
It's time to start baking, got no time to decline
The earth awakes you, yes, the simple pleasures of mine
Yours if you want them, you got the day
Find wealth in the living and you'll never be grave
A piece is missing from your puzzle
It's the piece that you need
It's place of mind you gonna find meditate by the sea
Be free with all trees in all the air that you breath (yeah)
They can't take away your soul but they can take all your pride
Slow ride, gonna sleep in the forest tonight
You gonna, you gonna sleep in the forest tonight
Are you gonna sleep in the forest?
'Coz

[Chorus]

Ooh, la-like a piece of driftwood
La-la-la-like a piece of driftwood (yeah, oh)

    hey man hoping for a reply here about your inspirations. digging your new bluesier stuff like Free. Also gotta love the reggae rhythm of this song. You gained a new fan. Mainly wanting to know what songs you learned/drew inspiration from to learn the blues like you did. Has a real Mayer/Hendrix vibe and I'm trying to improv on what i know when it comes to that style. Keep up the great music you gained a new fan with this independent stuff.

    Cody is totally in his zone... I saw him in concert when he still had his old label and it didn't fit him at all not in my opinion a little later on I saw him again performing an acoustic set for his book tour and I began an even bigger fan because he sounds so much better acoustic ( all great musicians do)  and now that flowers out hes going to be huge!

  61. r.... ....

    It sounds really good Codes

  62. r.... ....

    Love the new music and his hat 😁

  63. M.... ....

    I love his voice sm 😍❤
