Day after day I'm more confused
  But I look for the light thru the pourin' rain
  You know that's a game that I hate to lose
  I'm feelin' the strain
  Oh Ain't it a shame
  
  Oh
  Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
  I want to get lost in the rock and roll
  And drift away
  Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
  I want to get lost in the rock and roll
  And drift away
  
  Won't you take me away?
  
  Beginnin' to think that I'm wasting time
  And I don't understand the things I do
  The world outside looks so unkind
  And I'm counting on you
  You can carry me thru
  
  Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
  I want to get lost in the rock and roll
  And drift away
  Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
  I want to get lost in the 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
  And when I'm feelin' blue
  The guitar's comin' thru to soothe me
  
  Thanks for the joy that you've given me
  I want you to know I believe in the song
  And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
  You helped me along
  You're makin' me strong
  
  Oh
  Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
  I want to get lost in the rock and roll
  And drift away
  Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
  I want to get lost in the rock and roll
  And drift away
  
  Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
  I want to get lost in the rock and roll
  And drift away
  Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
  I want to get lost in the rock and roll
  And drift away
  
  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
