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 feelin' the strain

ain't it a shame

Oh, gimme the beat, boys

and free my soul

I wanna get lost

in your rock and roll

and drift away

Oh, gimme the beat, boys

and free my soul

I wanna get lost

in your rock and roll

and drift away

Beginnin' 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, gimme the beat, boys

and free my soul

I wanna get lost

in your rock and roll

and drift away

Yeah, gimme 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

And rhythm and rhyme

and harmony

you help me along

makin' me strong

Oh, gimme the beat, boys

and free my soul

I wanna get lost

in your rock and roll

and drift away

Gimme the beat, boys

and free my soul

I wanna get lost

in your rock and roll

and drift away

Oh-ho...

gimme the beat, boys

and free my soul

I wanna get lost

in your rock and roll

and drift away

Gimme the beat, boys

and free my soul

I wanna get lost

in your rock and roll

and drift away

Oh, gimme the beat, boys

and free my soul

I wanna get lost

in your rock and roll

and drift away

Gimme the beat, boys

and free my soul

I wanna get lost

in your rock and roll

and drift away

Gimme the beat, boys

and free my soul

I wanna get lost

in your rock and roll

and drift away

Gimme the beat, boys

and free my soul

I wanna get lost

in your rock and roll

and drift away
