Keep on drifting
Keep on drifting
Breathe baby, come back to the world
Oh, baby we need to smile
Taking out the demons in your range, hey
Oh, oh, baby we need to smile
Ain't no tellin' where you'll land
Oh, baby we need to smile
Livin' in a world that's oh, so fast
Run baby, run, run
Don't you take your time, young man
Learn from your past, oh
Sweet love and sunshine
Keep on drifting
...
Keep on drifting
Learn from your past, hey
If it's all in the air, then it's all on your mind
Taking out the demons in your range, hey
Ain't no tellin' where you'll land
Don't you take your time, young man
Ain't no tellin'
Time's a wastin'
Don't you take your time, young man
Dig up all your pearls, teach the boys and girls, hey
Boy, don't let your focus change
Ain't no tellin'
Time's a wastin'

'Cause time's a wastin
Some people may not understand
Ain't no tellin'
'Cause we're livin' in a world that's oh, so strange
Oh, oh, baby, baby we need to smile
Livin' in a world that's oh, so fast
Take your time, young man
What it means to be a man, taking full command
Livin' in a world that's oh, so strange
Oh, baby we need to smile
Gotta make your money last
Don't you take your time, young man
Time's a wastin'
Gotta make your money last
