Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feelin' the strain, oh, ain't it a shame?

Oh, give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me away?

Beginnin' to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
And I'm countin' on you, you can carry me through

Oh, give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me away?

And when my mind is free
You know a 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
(Oh, joy that you've given me)
I want you to know that I believe in your song
(Oh yeah)
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along, makin' me strong
Oh, you're makin' me strong

Oh, give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
(Drift away)
And give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
(Drift away)

And give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
(Drift away)
Just give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away, yeah, yeah

Oh, won't you take me?
Oh, won't you take me?
I wanna drift away
Won't you take me away?

I wanna drift away
I wanna drift away
Take me home
Let me drift away
Won't you take me away?
