Big Drift Away Lyrics - Singles - British Lions

(john fiddler) 

Thinkin' about my past, and I can't help myself 

Feelin' like an unwritten book sitting on the author's shelf 

Let the printer set the type, 'n even roll the press 

Writer, write your story and get me outta this mess! 

All of the prophecies written in the fortune stars 

Race through my mind in anarchy like railroads of colliding cars 

I live like a mirage, and I live like a dream 

Many people think that they know me, but they're only outside lookin' in 

'n I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

So you can't turn my pages or read between my lines 

Till the birds have fled their cages 'n there ain't no more gold to find 

Let the fiddler play until the break o' day 

Hand me that bottle boys and let me drift away 

Big drift away!!! 

I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

I've been travelling, travelling for so long 

Big drift away!!!
