[As performed by Dobie Gray]

Day after day I’m more confused
And 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, ain’t it a shame

{Refrain}
Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll, and drift away
{Repeat}

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 countin’ on you to carry me through

{Refrain}

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I’m feeling blue
The guitars are coming through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you’ve given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Your rhythm and rhyme and harmony
Help me along, makin’ me strong

{Refrain twice}
