Rickie Lee Jones
Driftin’
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

[Violin solo]

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
