[Verse 1]
Day after day I'm more confused
As I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game I hate to lose
And 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, yeah

[Verse 2]
Beginning to think that I'm losin' my mind
I don't understand the things that I do
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
Well give me the beat, boys to soothe my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away, well

[Bridge]
When my mind is free
No melody can move me
When I'm feelin' blue
Guitars are 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 always makin' me strong
[Chorus]
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, yeah
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

[Outro]
Well, won't you help me? Won't you help me? Won't you help me?
Drift away
Well, well
