Uncle Kracker - Drift Away Lyrics






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, 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
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and 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 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

Won't you take me away

And when my mind is free
You know your melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you've given me
The joy that you've given me
I want you to know that I believe in your song
Rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony
You helped me along, you're makin' me strong
Oh, you're makin' me strong

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

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

Oh, won't you take me
Oh, won't you take me
I wanna drift away
Won't you take me away
I wanna drift away
I wanna drift away
Won't you take me
Take me home
Let me drift away
Won't you take me away

    My God! This song always brings me to tears. It was the first song I heard in the radio when I came to America, being nine years old. It was played over and over again cause it was popular, so I learned the lyrics. It was the first English song I memorized. And through all the shit that I had to go through from being a non-English speaker at school, and the constant struggles that an immigrant with his mom goes through to start a new life here. I always came to this song to find peace and calmness. Those memories always make me cry.
    Uncle Kracker I owe you so much buddy! Thank you for your help!

  35. M.... W....

    The Fender Rhodes on this song is EVERYTHING!!! It gives the song a 1970's feel.

    Needless remake, just like Weezer's Africa.

  42. A.... G....

    My mom dedicated this song as our family song when I was younger. She took her own life when I was 14, I’m 18 now and it brings tears and happy memories to listen to this song again.

    A.... G....

    Apex Groovyman I am extremely sorry for your loss and if it helps you feel better you aren’t alone in using this song as a sad emotion fixer Follow Me was mine and my grandma’s song it’s been 3 years since I lost her and Follow Me still shaders my heart this one definitely helps the hurt go away

  50. O.... C....

    If you legitimately don’t like this song, your brain is messed up. It’s a whole different kind of music

  51. a.... h....

    Not sure if this is Pop or Country, but if it's Country, then why is it under Atlantic Records?

  52. M.... J....

    His voice...brings back memories riding on my bike in the summertime

  53. T.... ....

    God I wanna see Rebecca Sugar write a song called "Follow Me" for Steven Universe Future because I'm enjoying all the fans stumbling upon Uncle Kracker and wondering why this man spun off from Kid Rock

  56. K.... C....

    I've heard this song in my local grocery store for 5 years thinking that the store made it and it plays every time I'm there and today I just realized it was made by this man.

  78. K.... P....

    Meaning???💯👌😀

  79. S.... H....

    I love that he has Dobie gray singing with him, now if Teddy Swims would just sing this song

  80. A.... C....

    Still bein my favorite

  81. I.... B....

    I dont care how crappy I feel all I gotta do is listen to Uncle Kracer and everything's all right.

  82. D.... I....

    Great song and a great job of singing. Uncle Kracker really sings it with a lot of feeling. Also I like Dobey Grey being in the song.

  83. J.... D....

    Uncle Cracker covered the original like a printer copy machine. He added nothing. Dobie Gray was maybe better!!

  84. S.... M....

    I wonder how hard it was for Dobie to not take over the lyrics

  85. S.... M....

    The original is way better

  86. T.... ....

    "whas up, me and my boys gonna go see Uncle Kracker.."
    *"GIVE ME MY HAT BACK JORDAN, DO YOU WANNA SEE UNCLE KRACKER OR NO--"*

  87. S.... C....

    Like how he paid tribute to the original singer. Respect to them both.

  88. T.... ....

    🎶Give me them cheeks girl and free my soul
    I wanna get lost in your bootyhole and lick away🎶

  89. J.... D....

    This is a pitiful cover of a fantastic song. Dobie Gray is turning in his grave.

  90. M.... I....

    This song hits me hard I perceive it as my life is going by fast and I'm just drifting through the years.

  91. A.... T....
