Day after day i'm more confused
Still i look for the sun through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that i hate to lose
And i'm feeling the strain
Ain't it a shame

Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Beginning to think that i'm wasting time
I don't understand the things i do
World outside looks so unkind
And i'm counting on you to carry me through

Oh give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
I said give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

When my mind is free
You know that a melody can move me
And when i'm feeling blue
The guitars coming 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 making me strong


Oh give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
I said give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away all right
I said give me the beat boys and free my soul
(oh now it's time to come on and free my soul)
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
(we're gonna drift away)
Why don't you give me the beat boys and free my soul
(take me, take me, take me away)
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
(oh)
I said give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
