Day after day I’m more confused
And I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that’s a game that I hate to lose
And I’m feeling 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 drifaway

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And driftaway

I’m beginning to think that I’m wasting time
I don’t understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now I’m counting 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 driftaway

Yeah, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And driftaway

When my mind is free
You know melody can move me
When I’m feeling blue
The guitar’s coming through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you’ve given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony
You help me along
Making me strong

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And driftaway
