Lyrics

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 rhythm 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
