[Verse 1]
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 feeling 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 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 2]
Beginning to think that I'm wasting time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm counting on you
To carry me through
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
When my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
When I'm feeling blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe me
[Verse 3]
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
Making me strong
[Chorus]
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
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
[Outro]
Na na na, won't you? Won't you take me?
Oh, take me!
