Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame?
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Beginnin' 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
So, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Hey, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
A guitar's comin' through to soothe me
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've helped me along, makin' me strong
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Ho, ho, oh-ho, yeah
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul (free my soul)
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Yeah, hey, hey, yeah
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Na, na, now won't ya
Won't ya take me?
Whoa-ho, take me
