Title track for Drifting To The Right album

lyrics

He’s hurting and he’s angry, he’s looking for a fight
He’s losing his perspective and drifting to the right
Drifting to the right, drifting to the right, drifting away.

I last talked to him in high school
He was a party guy
He had several different girlfriends, he was almost always high
But he was different when we spoke on the telephone last night
Slowly, slowly, slowly drifting to the right.
Drifting to the right, drifting to the right, drifting away.

His businesses went bankrupt in the housing industry
Now he’s selling insurance and building equity
He’s starting to do pretty well but he’s not really happy
Slowly, slowly, slowly, drifting to the right
Drifting to the right, drifting to the right, drifting away

Lost in the new America, can’t talk to his wife
Losing his perspective, looking for a fight

Can I help him with his anger, help him know he’ll be alright
Stop the drifting, drifting to the right, drifting to the right
Drifting away.
