Day after day I'm more confused;
Yet  I look for the light  through  the pouring rain.
You know that's a game that I hate to lose.
Now  I'm feelin' the strain; ain't it a shame?

Oh, give me the beat, boys, to free  my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Oh, give me the beat, boys, to free  my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.


Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time;
I don't understand the things I do.
the world outside looks so unkind.
Now I'm countin' on you to carry me through.


Oh, give me the beat, boys, to free  my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Yeah, give me the beat, boys, to free  my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.


And when my mind is free you know a  melody can move me.
When I'm feelin' blue guitars are comin' through to soothe me.


And thanks for the joy that you've given me;
I want you to know I believe in your song,
and rhythm and rhyme and harmony.
You help me along, makin' me strong.


Give me the beat, boys, to free my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away, yeah
Give me the beat, boys, to free  my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.


Oh, give me the beat, boys, to free  my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away,
Yeah,
won't ya take me,
won't ya take  me,
won't ya help me drift away
