|
The jam is jumpin' |
|
The drums are pumpin' |
|
The groove is lockin' in the rhythm like we want it to be |
|
No time for stallin' |
|
We're really haulin' |
|
we've gotta keep it in the pocket or we'll stagger behind |
|
You never know just when to leave it when you're riffin' in time |
|
Or if the time itself will falter, or of words even rhyme |
|
But we admit, the trick to it is not to think about it |
|
When you're busy bravin' all the notes in the line |
|
This time we mean it |
|
We're gonna swing it |
|
And take you right up to the end before we try to unwind |
|
I've never been the kind of guy who could just normally quit |
|
Never could decide when to rest my pride |
|
And feel all right with just good enough |
|
Thoughts, they gather |
|
Tellin' me to look to find a bright new way |
|
To assemble all the stimulated motives that haunt me |
|
Tryin' a live it, be in the moment, tryin' to sing it alone |
|
Can beckon to me, a feelin' of being bent |
|
So I believe, takin' a leave is the brightest way to stop |
|
All the chatter boxin' going 'round in my brain |
|
So I'm wailin' - movin' and groovin' this part of this song |
|
I hope that my riff's good enough to keep |
|
Better leave it now or go out of my mind |
|
Now I dig you think that perfect's what we should make it |
|
But I've been down that road and I can tell ya how we feel's |
|
The most important thing about it |
|
Whether you're right or whether you might think we're pathetic |
|
A little lighter on the reins will help you loosen up the chains |
|
That are still binding you - |
|
In the past, whenever thoughts I had would try to re-evaluate all that I would do |
|
I'd hesitate, consolidate, and motivate |
|
All the little pearls of doubt that strive to break up every single bit of |
|
Precious joy that flowed from God's soul spark that |
|
Shines within me |
|
That's it in a nut shell |
|
So take advice from this sap, go for feel and leave it alone |
|
Now's the time to sing |
|
Swing is what we bring |
|
Rhythm that's the thing |
|
To really get your spirit movin' higher |
|
Gonna jump and play |
|
Dance the night away |
|
Make you really sway |
|
And let the music take you even higher |
|
E-lla sang this song real special |
|
Come on, come on - we'll sing this special song for you |
|
One more one we'll go |
|
But before we blow |
|
We want you to know |
|
The take is really good enough, we'll keep it! |
