Lay It Down

(альбом: Escape - 1981)

Looking 'round for a feeling
I love the rhythm and blues
The place was rocking and reeling
I thought I'd shake me loose
The band was pumping Motown
Lord how they could play
The girls a-started singing
Rock the night away

[Chorus:]
By the midnight hour
They could've raised the dead
They were taking it higher
Higher, higher, higher, ringing in my head
Lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down

Whisky, wine and women
They get me though the night
I ain't looking for trouble
I ain't looking to fight
A little vertical persuasion
Would do me right
What I'm really needing
Ah, double shot tonight.

By the midnight hour
We were on our way
She was taking it higher
Higher, higher, higher, then I heard say

[Chorus]
