Today's favorite download, mostly for its lyrics:

Drift Away

Performed by Dobie Gray




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 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...



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 wasting time

I don't understand the things I do

The world outside looks so unkind

And I'm counting 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...



And when my mind is free

No melody can move me

And when I'm feeling blue

Guitar comin' through to soothe me...



And 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 help me along, makin' me strong.

Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away, yeah
Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away,
Yeah,
won't ya help me,
won't ya help me,
won't ya help me drift away
