Day after day, I'm more confused But I look for the light through the pourin' rain You know that's a game I hate to lose I'm feelin' the strain and ain't that a shame Give me the beat, boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll and drift away Give me the beat, boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll and drift away Beginnin' to think I'm wastin' time 'Cause I can't understand the thing I do The world outside looks so unkind Now it's up to you to carry me through Give me the beat, boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll and drift away Oh, give me the beat, boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll and drift away But when my mind is free You know, a melody can move me And when I'm feeling blue The guitar's coming through to soothe me Oh, oh, thanks for the joy you've given me I want you to know I believe in song Rhythm, rhyme and harmony They've helped me along, they're makin' me strong Give me the beat, boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll and drift away Hey, give me the beat, boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll and drift away Oh, give me the beat, boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll and drift away Give me the beat, boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll and drift away Oh, give me the beat, boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll and drift away Hey, give me the beat, boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll and drift away Give me the beat, boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
