Driftwood Lyrics

They asked me as a ten-year-old

What do you want to be?

Go to college, get a job

This life is not for free

I found that things that money buys

Can't make my heart feel good

So I float…driftwood

I float

Till I feel good

I float

driftwood

Uninvited, dread can enter

Even when I sleep

I feel like I am on a walk

Toward trouble like a sheep

Stories end, some well, some poorly

The sun will return slowly

But surely

And I float til I feel good

I float…driftwood

Human misery is stunning

Worst of all It just keeps coming

While you live you'll feel some hurt

Someday we all will lose our shirt

Until then there's joy each day

I think I'll look at things that way

And float 'til I feel good

I float…driftwood

How much money does it take

Until I've got it covered?

Many things can bankrupt me

I feel I'm being smothered

To hell with it, I'll just relax

I'll find a way to pay the tax

And float 'til I feel good

I'll float…driftwood

Getting older day-by-day

Can be a bitter pill

For a kid it can't come fast enough

Then you slide downhill

But all those days I left behind me

Took with them the ties that bind me

So I float 'til I feel good

I float…driftwood

Science spells it out for me

It takes away life's mystery

Explains the way things have to be

And robs my world of poetry

So I shut the thinking down

I become color, feeling, and sound

I float

Till I feel good

I float

You know you could

I float

I think you should

I float

Driftwood

I float

Driftwood

I float

Driftwood
