Lyrics:

Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
and I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me 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.Oh you can carry me through

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me away....?

And when my mind is free
You know a 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 (ohhh the joy that you have given me)
I want you to know that I believe in your song (ohh yeah)
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony (hmmmmmmm)
You help me along (makin' me strong) oh you're makin' me strong

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (drift away)
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (drift away)

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (drift away)
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Won't you take me away? (ooh)
