Dobie Gray - Drift Away 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
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
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
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped 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
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
Hey, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Na na na, won't you, won't you take me
Oh, take me

RIP REGGIE YOUNG
While the car is wet, I'm going to soap it up and then it can rain again, to rinse it off and water the lawn, I need to make a cup of tea and get my self organised, stay focused, I'm talking to me now, working at staying in the here and now, it can be really hard work sometimes :-)

Dobie was one of our friends who came to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to get his hands in the Holy water and black muck of the Tennessee River. Ironically, Dobie came to Muscle Shoals with the intention of following Charlie Pride into country music along with Ray Charles and the great Joe Simon. Dobie spent a lot of time in Northwest Alabama back then. He actually wanted to be a country singer full time but Rick Hall told him this would be a big hit. It did ok. Still my favorite song of his. BTW, that's Larry Byrom of Steppenwolf on lead guitar. https://youtu.be/YLaDaUpsx-E

The original! I’ve heard so many other versions. It’s good to hear this.
This is not the original.
The original is by John Henry Kurtz
I grew up with this song on the radio, and honestly never knew the artist was a black person. Sometimes I hate the television. The art is itself, I don't want anything but the song.
25 and still rocking it like I was alive in this great time of music !!! Cheers everyone !!!
