[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time

Don't understand the things I do

'Cause the world outside looks so unkind

Now I'm countin' on you, to carry me through

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

When my mind is free

Your melody can move me

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 help me along, you're makin' me strong

[Chorus]

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

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
