Day after day I'm more confused I look for the light in the pouring rain You know that's a game that I hate to lose I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame? Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time Don't understand the things that I do 'Cause the world outside looks so unkind Now I'm countin' on you to carry me through Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Yeah, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away And when my mind is free, no melody can move me When I'm feelin' blue, guitars are comin' through to soothe me And thanks for the joy that you've given me I want you to know I believe in your song And the rhythm and the rhyme and the harmony You help me along, makin' me strong Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away, yeah Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away, yeah Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away, yeah Won't you help me Won't you help me Won't you help me And drift away
