Day after day I'm more confused But 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 and ain't it a shame Give me the beat, boys, free my soul I wanna get lost in the rock 'n' roll and drift away Give me the beat, boys, free my soul I wanna get lost in the rock 'n' roll and drift away Thanks for the joy you've given me I want you to know I believe in the song And the rhythm and rhyme and harmony You help me along and you're makin' me strong Give me the beat, boys, free my soul I wanna get lost in the rock 'n' roll and drift away Oh, give me the beat, boys, free my soul I wanna get lost in the rock 'n' roll and drift away And when my mind is free You know a melody can soothe me And when I'm feelin' blue The guitar's comin' through to soothe me Oh, give me the beat, boys, free my soul I wanna get lost in the rock 'n' roll and drift away Oh, give me the beat, boys, free my soul I wanna get lost in the rock 'n' roll and drift away Drift away Oh, I wanna drift away Let it drift away
