Dobie Gray had the original, then it was remade by Uncle Kracker. Both versions are really good, by the way. If you don't pay close attention, you may not know which version they're playing.

It's original artist from the 70's is...Dobie Gray. I have this still on a record. I remember it well. Great song. If someone recently re-made it I can't help you. I don't much listen to the garbage they call music, that's out now, sorry!

Drift Away - 1973
Dobie Gray
Day after day, I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to loose
And I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame
Oh, gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock-n-roll
And drift away
Oh, gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away
Beginnin' to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
And I'm countin' on you
To carry me through
Oh, gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock-n-roll
And drift away
Yeah, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock-n-roll
And drift away
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through
To soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you're givin' me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Your rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along
Makin' me strong
Oh, gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock-n-roll
And drift away
Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock-n-roll
And drift away
Oh...., gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock-n-roll
And drift away
Oh, hey, hey, yeah
Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock-n-roll
And drift away
Now, now, now won't ya
Won't ya take me, oh, take me
