John Kay - Drift Away

Day after day, I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know, that's a game I hate to lose
I'm feeling the strain, now, ain't that a shame?

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away

Beginning to think I'm wastin' time
'Cause I can't understand a thing I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now it's up to you to carry me through

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away

But when my mind is free
You know, melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Oh

Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know I believe in song
Rhythm, rhyme and harmony
They've helped me along, they're making me strong

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Hey, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Hey, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Hey, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys
