Lyrics

[Intro] Music makes me highRockin rhythm soothes my mindSimple songs like this they stop the worldThey can set me freeWith that melodyAnd that harmony…[1] When my thinking—brings me downTurns my smile—to a frownEasy answers—can’t be foundRight side up looks—upside downWhen I’m sinking—to the groundAnd I feel it—pound for poundI keep listening—for a soundThen I hear it—and it turns me all aroundMusic makes me highRockin rhythm soothes my mindSimple songs like this they stop the worldThey can set me freeWith that melodyAnd that harmony[2]When I’m hungry—in my soulAnd I’m tired—in my bonesWhen I’m thirsty—in my veinsAnd I’m wired—in my brainWhen I’m lonely—in my heartJust about to—fall apartAnd the teardrops—fill my eyesSo I listen—and it’s then I realizeMusic makes me highRockin rhythm soothes my mindSimple songs like this they stop the worldGet my toes to curlWhen that dancing beatRushes to my feet[3] When my mood is—tippin lowAnd my groove is—just so-soCan’t be hangin—with my folkDon’t find humor—in the jokeGot no power—got no flowGot no get up—got no goSeems I lost it—my mojoThen I listen—as the band begins to blowMusic makes me highRockin rhythm soothes my mindSimple songs like this they stop the worldThey can set me freeWith that melodyAnd that harmony[BACK]
