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 feeling the strain Ain't it a shame Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll And drift away [Repeat] 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 want to get lost in your rock and roll And drift away [Repeat] And when my mind is free You know a melody can move me And when I'm feeling blue The guitar's coming through to soothe me Thanks for the joy that you're given me I want you to know I believe in your song Your rythm and rhyme and harmony You've helped me along Makin' me strong Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll And drift away [Repeat] Na, na, now won't ya Won't ya take, oh ha .take me
