Drift Away Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

Day after day, I get more confused
Try to see the light through the pourin′ rain
You know it's a game that I hate to lose
I′m feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame?

Oh, give me the beat, boys, free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys, free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Come on

Sometimes I think I′m wasting my time
I don′t understand the things I feel, yeah-yeah
The world outside is so unkind
Well, counting on you to see me through

Oh, give me the beat, boys, free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (oh, yeah)
I said give me the beat, boys, free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (oh, yeah-yeah)


And when my mind is free, just a melody can soothe me (listen, Brucie)
When I'm feeling blue, guitars coming through to soothe me, listen to me
Thanks for the joy (the twenty years) you′ve given me
I sure believe, I believe in your song (yes, I do)
The rhythm, the rhyme and the harmony (oh, baby)
You help me along, making me strong

Oh, gimme the beat, boys, free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Hey, gimme the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Ah, sing it with me now

Gimme the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Let me hear you now
Gimme the beat, boys, free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, let me hear you now

Gimme the beat, boys, free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll, oh, and drift away
When I'm lost, when I′m lonely
Gimme the beat, boys, free my soul (and I can't handle myself)
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
When I′m lost, oh


Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I can't handle myself
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
'Cause I′m lost

Gimme the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (oh-oh-oh)
Gimme the beat boys, free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (come on)

Gimme the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Gimme the beat, boy, free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
