[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
