Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Day after day, I get more confused
Try to see the light through the pouring rain
You know it's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feeling the strain
Ain't it a shame
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I think I'm wasting my time
I don't understand the things I see, yeah, yeah
The world outside is so unkind
Well, I'm counting on you
To see me through
[Verse 4]
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
I said, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
[Verse 5]
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
And when my mind is free
Just a melody can soothe me
When I'm feeling blue
Guitar's coming through
To soothe me
[Verse 6]
Listen to me
Thanks for the joy (For 20 years) that you've given me
You know, I (Sure) believe in your song, yes, I do
Rhythm and the rhyme and the harmony, oh, baby
You help me along
Making me strong
[Verse 7]
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, your rock and roll
And drift away
[Verse 8]
Oh, ho, ah, ho (Oh, sing it with me now)
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Hey, hoo, hoo, ha
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Oh, let me hear you now
[Verse 9]
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
When I'm lost and I'm lonely
Give me the beat, boys, free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And I can't handle myself
And drift away
When I'm lost, oh
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
I can't handle myself
And drift away
[Verse 10]
'Cause I'm lost
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
Come on
[Verse 11]
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
Little Steven
