Driftaway

I look inside the mirror but I don't know who I see Smoke another cigarette, the smile holds back the tears These contradictions seem to be the story of my life A simple man with memories of those long lost golden days I close my eyes an' slowly driftaway Mistakes I've made remind me of the roads I shouldn't choose Never comes that easy when you've nothing left to lose I can't see the answers, tell me why am I so blind A tired man, I'll make the best of another lonely day I close my eyes an' slowly driftaway, yeah Never thought I'd make it just from playin' my guitar Just a little smile always shelters me from pain Every time I start to slide, I wish upon a star The sun comes out and dries up all the rain I'm an honest man who refused the shade on a hot and lonely day I close my eyes and dream my life away, yeah Now I know that I can stop the rain Close my eyes an' slowly driftaway Close my eyes an' dream my life away Close my eyes an' slowly driftaway Close my eyes an' dream my life away
