Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light
Through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feeling the strain
Ain't it a shame

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
You've helped me along
Makin' 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

    General Comment:Uh... this is not a rock song, or even a country song for that matter.

    Dobie Gray (who does background vocals in this version) did the original as a soul tune.

    General Comment:Personally I think its epic! First time I heard this song it was around midnight and I was driving across the middle of nowhere New Mexico on my way home in my '67 convertible mustang with the top down to keep me awake. It was amazing.

    General Comment:It always bugs me that the chorus keeps talking about getting "lost in your rock and roll", and yet this song's pretty much the furthest thing from rock & roll possible.

    General Comment:I like this. Its just, like was said, a feel good song. Once I was upset about one thing or another, and I heard this song, and it just kind of made everything better. Kind of strange, but thats how it is.
