Dan Hicks, The Hot Licks, Rickie Lee Jones - Driftin' lyrics

Sittin' in the shade of a tree
That was meant for me
A little tired from sun and
Sittin' there to feel the breeze
And the memories
I let my thoughts go runnin'
No major discoveries i just let myself ride
Why was I so at ease? I can't decide
Sittin' 'neath the tree idly
That was so shady i let myself envision
Thinkin' of the dreams
And the scenes I could see for me
And what was my decision?
I knew that the sun was out
But how long would it shine?
Soon closing in, no doubt but, I had time

And I'm driftin' no, no direction
Chasin' thought after thought driftin'
Into reflеction and I don't want it to stop

Rollin' roll with the punches
Trying to get with thе scheme rollin'
Roll with the hunches
And somewhere there is a theme

Pickin' up the things I've mislaid
While in the shade my little visit over
I step back into the sun my dreamin' done
My feet dug in the clover
As I ran down the hill
I try to catch my mind
But, I was standin' still
'Cause it was flyin'

And I'm driftin' no, no direction
Chasin' thought after thought driftin'
Into reflection and I don't want it to stop

Ah, rollin' roll with the punches
Rolling best as I can rollin'
Roam with the hunches
'Cause somewhere there is a plan
