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
