(Dobie Gray)

Day after day I'm more confused

Yet I look for the light

Through the pourin' rain

You know it's a game that I hate to lose

And feeling the pain

Taking the strain

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

Carried me on

Keeping 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
