Words and Music by Hal Crook © 2015 

[Intro] Music makes me high 
Rockin rhythm soothes my mind 
Simple songs like this they stop the world 
They can set me free 
With that melody 
And that harmony… 

[1] When my thinking—brings me down 
Turns my smile—to a frown 
Easy answers—can’t be found 
Right side up looks—upside down 
When I’m sinking—to the ground 
And I feel it—pound for pound 
I keep listening—for a sound 
Then I hear it—and it turns me all around 

Music makes me high 
Rockin rhythm soothes my mind 
Simple songs like this they stop the world 
They can set me free 
With that melody 
And that harmony 

[2]When I’m hungry—in my soul 
And I’m tired—in my bones 
When I’m thirsty—in my veins 
And I’m wired—in my brain 
When I’m lonely—in my heart 
Just about to—fall apart 
And the teardrops—fill my eyes 
So I listen—and it’s then I realize 

Music makes me high 
Rockin rhythm soothes my mind 
Simple songs like this they stop the world 
Get my toes to curl 
When that dancing beat 
Rushes to my feet 

[3] When my mood is—tippin low 
And my groove is—just so-so 
Can’t be hangin—with my folk 
Don’t find humor—in the joke 
Got no power—got no flow 
Got no get up—got no go 
Seems I lost it—my mojo 
Then I listen—as the band begins to blow 

Music makes me high 
Rockin rhythm soothes my mind 
Simple songs like this they stop the world 
They can set me free 
With that melody 
And that harmony
