Day after day I'm more confused
Tell 'em
And I look for the light through the falling rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
Now I'm feeling the strain, ain't it a shame

Give me the beat, boys, to free my soul
Want to get lost in your rock 'n' roll
And drift away
Give me the beat, boys, to free my soul
Want to get lost in your rock 'n' roll
And drift away

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, to free my soul
Want to get lost in your rock 'n' roll
And drift away
Give me the beat, boys, to free my soul
Want to get lost in your rock 'n' roll
And drift away

When my mind is free
You know, the melody can't move me
When I'm feeling blue
Know the guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in this song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony

You help me along, making me strong, yeah
Oh, give me the beat, boys, to free my soul
Want to get lost in your rock 'n' roll
And drift away
Give me the beat, boys, to free my soul
Want to get lost in your rock 'n' roll
And drift away
