Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Day after day, I get more confused

Try to see the light through the pouring rain

You know it's a game that I hate to lose

I'm feeling the strain

Ain't it a shame

[Verse 2]

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

[Verse 3]

Sometimes I think I'm wasting my time

I don't understand the things I see, yeah, yeah

The world outside is so unkind

Well, I'm counting on you

To see me through

[Verse 4]

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

I said, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

[Verse 5]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

And when my mind is free

Just a melody can soothe me

When I'm feeling blue

Guitar's coming through

To soothe me

[Verse 6]

Listen to me

Thanks for the joy (For 20 years) that you've given me

You know, I (Sure) believe in your song, yes, I do

Rhythm and the rhyme and the harmony, oh, baby

You help me along

Making me strong

[Verse 7]

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost, your rock and roll

And drift away

[Verse 8]

Oh, ho, ah, ho (Oh, sing it with me now)

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

Hey, hoo, hoo, ha

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

Oh, let me hear you now

[Verse 9]

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

When I'm lost and I'm lonely

Give me the beat, boys, free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And I can't handle myself

And drift away

When I'm lost, oh

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

I can't handle myself

And drift away

[Verse 10]

'Cause I'm lost

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

Come on

[Verse 11]

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

Little Steven
