The jam is jumpin'the drums are pumpin'the groove is lockin' in the rhythm like we want it to beNo time for stallin'We're really haulin'we've gotta keep it in the pocket or we'll stagger behindYou never know just when to leave it when you're riffin' in timeOr if the time itself will falter, or of words even rhymeBut we admit, the trick to it is not to think about itwhen you're busy bravin' all the notes in the lineThis time we mean itWe're gonna swing itAnd take you right up to the end before we try to unwindAlan's solo:I've never been the kind of guy who could just normally quitNever could decide when to rest my prideand feel all right with just good enoughThoughts, they gathertellin' me to look to find a bright new wayto assemble all the stimulated motives that haunt metryin' a live it, be in the moment, tryin' to sing it alonecan beckon to me, a feelin' of being bentso I believe, takin' a leave is the brightest way to stopAll the chatter boxin' going 'round in my brainso I'm wailin' - movin' and groovin' this part of this songI hope that my riff's good enough to keepbetter leave it now or go out of my mindViolin SoloTim's solo:Now I dig you think that perfect's what we should make itBut I've been down that road and I can tell ya how we feel'sthe most important thing about itWhether you're right or whether you might thinkwe're patheticA little lighter on the reins will help you loosen up the chainsthat are still binding you -In the past, whenever thoughts I had would try to re-evaluate all that i would doI'd hesitate, consolidate, and motivateAll the little pearls of doubt that strive to break upevery single bit ofprecious joy that flowed from God's soul spark thatshines within meThat's it in a nut shellSo take advice from this sap, go for feel and leave it aloneMandolin Solo:Now's the time to singSwing is what we bringRhythm that's the thingTo really get your spirit movin' higherGonna jump and playDance the night awayMake you really swayAnd let the music take you even higherE-lla sang this song real specialCome on, come on - we'll sing this special song for youOne more one we'll gobut before we blowwe want you to knowThe take is really good enough, we'll keep it!
