Day after day I'm more confused 
 Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain 
 You know that's a game that I hate to lose 
 And I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame 
    Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul 
 I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away 
 Give me the beat boys, and free my soul 
 I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away   
 Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time 
 I don't understand the things I do 
 The world outside looks so unkind 
 And I'm countin' on you, to carry me through   
 Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul 
 I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away 
 Yeah, give me the beat boys, and free my soul 
 I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away   
 And when my mind is free 
 You know a melody can move me 
 And when I'm feelin' blue 
 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 your song 
 Rhythm and rhyme and harmony 
 You've helped me along, you're makin' me strong   
 Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul 
 I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away 
 Give me the beat boys, and free my soul 
 I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away   
 Oh, oh, oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul 
 I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away 
 Give me the beat boys, and free my soul 
 I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away   
 Nah nah nah, won't you, won't ya take me, oh take me
