Drift Away (Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: Tattoo You - 1981)

Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game I hate to lose
Feeling the pain
Taking a strain

So give me the beat, boy, free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Give me the beat, boy, free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away

Beginning to think I'm wasting time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Counting on you
Carry me through

So give me the beat, boy, free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Give me the beat, boy, free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
When I'm feeling blue
Guitar's coming through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy you're giving me
I want you to know I believe in your songs
Rythm and rhyme and harmony
Carry me on
Keeping me strong

So give me the beat, boy, free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Give me the beat, boy, free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Give me the beat, boy, free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Give me the beat, boy, free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Drift away
Won't you take me
Won't you take me?
Won't you take me?
Give me the beat, boy
Give me the beat, boy
Let me drift away
Give me the beat, boy
Give me the beat, boy
Let me drift away
