Watch the kids riding shotgun roads
In twenty-one, all the movies closed
High and dry, they got nowhere else to go
Seventeen and a lifetime left
Yeah, your daddy always said it best
It's not 'bout getting out, it's 'bout letting 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
