Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Day after day, I'm more confused
Yet 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?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Yeah, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
[Bridge]
When my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
When I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
[Verse 3]
Thanks for the joy that you're givin' me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme, and harmony
You've helped me along, makin' me strong
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul (Free my soul)
Wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Hey, hey, hey, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul (Free my soul)
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
[Outro]
Now, now, now won't ya, won't ya take me?
Oh, take me
