PTSD Patrol

Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul
I want to 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
So I'm countin' on you to carry me through
If you haven't guessed by now, the feature video on PTSD Patrol is Dobie Gray Drift Away.

Hopefully by now, with all the music being shared, you've noticed how you mood does change, even if it is just for a little while. This is why music therapy works on PTSD. It takes your mind away from your problems and helps to teach your body to calm down again.

This is one of the best songs to explain that.

Remember, it is your life...get in and drive it. #BreakTheSilence and #TakeBackYourLife from #PTSD

Day after day I'm more confused

Yet 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 want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to 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

So I'm countin' on you to carry me through

Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

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

Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Hey, hey, give me the beat boys, and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Na na na, won't ya, won't ya take me

Oh oh, take me

Won't find

Early in the morning, they wanna take me

Come on and free my soul na na and drift away
