A letra:
Day
after day I'm more confused
As I look for the light through the
pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm
feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame
Oh, give me the beat,
boys, and sooth my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and
drift away
Give me the beat, boys, and sooth my soul
I wanna get
lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Beginning to think
that I'm wasting time
I don't understand the things that I do
Cause the
world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you, to carry me
through
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and sooth my soul
I
wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the
beat, boys, and sooth my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and
roll and drift away
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
The Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You
help me along, you're always makin' me strong
Oh, give me the
beat, boys, and sooth my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and
roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys, and sooth my soul
I
wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh give me the
beat, boys, and sooth my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and
roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys, and sooth my soul
I
wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Won't you help me? Won't you help me? Won't you help me...
