Lyrics:
Day after day I'm more confused
Look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
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
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
Can't understand the things I do
World outside looks so unkind
So I'm countin' on you
To carry me through

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

When my mind is free
Know a melody can move me
When I'm feelin' blue
Guitar's comin' through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you've given me
Want you to know that I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
Makin' me strong

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

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

Saw the movie with my mother in the movie theater. The audience’s started singing along and it turned out to be karaoke night and it was amazing. My mother & I loved it. I ❤️ Meryl Streep!

Is there anything that Streep can't do
