Day after day I'm more confused
  But I look for the light through the pourin' 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 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
  
  Beginin' to think that I'm wastin time
  And I don't understand the things I do
  The world outside looks so unkind
  I'm countin' on you to carry me thru
  
  CHORUS:
  
  And when my mind is free
  You know a melody can move me
  And when I'm feelin' blue
  The guitars comin' thru to soothe me
  
  Thanks for the joy that you've given me
  I want you to know I believe in the song
  And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
  You helped me along, you're makin' me strong
  
  CHORUS:
