For the longest time, I thought that in the song 'Drift Away' by Dobie Gray (not original, but perhaps the best?) said... Give me the People As in Free My Soul, I want to get lost in your rock and roll.
Well, I was very wrong and I just learned this at karaoke on Thursday night. The real words are as follows and I am so sad that I have been singing this wonderful song incorrectly for soooo oo ooo many years!
Drift Away
DOBIE GRAY
(Mentor Williams)
Day after day I'm more confused
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soulI wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soulI 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
I'm countin' on you to carry me through
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
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin' me strong
Boy, was I wrong! Did you know the correct words?
