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 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 and roll and drift away Oh, give me the beat, boys, and 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 I'm countin' on you to carry me through Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Oh, give me the beat, boys, 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 And when I'm feelin' blue The guitars comin' through to soothe me, come on soothe me I want to thank you for the joy that you give to me I want you to know I believe in your song The Rhythm and the rhyme and the harmony You carry me along you're makin' me strong Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Come on, come on, come on, take me down, take me down , free my soul Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Come on, come on, come on, take me, take me down, take me down , free my soul Oh, give me the beat, boys, free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away, oh drift away
