(dobie gray)

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 feeling the strain
Ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
[repeat]

Beginning to think that i'm wasting time
I don't understand the things i do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now 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
[repeat]

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when i'm feeling blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you're given me
I want you to know i believe in your song
Your rythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
Makin' 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
[repeat]
Na, na, now won't ya
Won't ya take, oh ha ..take me
