Lyrics

Drift Away

Watch the kids ridin' shotgun roads In '21, all the movies closed High and dry, they got nowhere else to go 17 and a lifetime left Yeah, your daddy always said it best It's not 'bout gettin' out, it's 'bout lettin' go Don't you know? Drift away with me Yeah, drift away with me Yeah, drift away Pack it up past the city sign Wave goodbye, cross the county line Backseat singing songs that make us cry We don't know why Big bored, baby, light a smoke Time flies, tell another joke There's gotta be more than this tired town Don't you frown Drift away with me Yeah, drift away with me Empty-handed, nothing left to hold Nothing's easy when you're young, I'm told They'll tell you, "Come back down" Saying something 'bout, "I gotta save my soul Before I'm old" Drift away with me Yeah, drift away with me Yeah, drift away with me Drift away Drift away with me Drift away with me
