Really, really would appreciate getting the lyrics to this
song.

The chorus goes

"Give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n' roll and drift away..."

Drift Away
Written by Mentor Williams

-performed by Dobie Gray

Day after day I'm more confused
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain, 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
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

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

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin' me strong

Drift Away - Dobie Gray

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 feeling the strain. Ain't it a shame?

Chorus:
Oh gimme the beat, boys, and free my soul.
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Gimme the beat, boys, and free my soul.
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

Beginning to think that I'm wasting time.
I don't understand the things I do.


The world outside looks so unkind

and I'm counting on you to carry me through.

Chorus

Bridge:
And when my mind is free you know a melody can move me.
And when I'm feeling blue, guitar's coming through to soothe me.
Thanks for the joy that you've given me.
I want you to know I believe in your song,
and rhythm and rhyme and harmony.
You've helped me along. You're making me strong.

Chorus

Oh hey hey yeah.

Chorus

Now now now won't you, won't you take me.
Oh oh take me.

(Pioneer laserdisc karaoke version)

Cheers,
Carla
