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

Ah 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

Give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to 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 want to get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

Give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to 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 coming through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you're givin' me

(ooh the joy that you're givin' me)

I want you to know I believe in your song

(oh yeah)

Rhythm and rhyme and harmony

(mmmm)

You help me along

(makin' me strong)

Ah you're 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

(drift away ooh)

Give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

(drift away)

Give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

(drift away oh)

Just give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll

And drift away

Yeah

Won't you take me

Won't you take me

I want to drift away

Won't you take me away

I want to drift away

I want to drift away

Take me home

Let me drift away

Won't you take me away
