Lookin' 'round for a feelin', I love the rhythm and blues

The place was rockin' and reelin', I thought I'd shake me loose

The band was pumpin' Motown, Lord how they could play

The girls a-started singing, rock the night away



By the midnight hour, they could've raised the dead

They were takin' it higher, higher, higher, higher, ringin' in my head



Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down, lay it down



Whisky, wine and women, they get me through the night

I ain't lookin' for trouble, I ain't lookin' to fight

A little vertical persuasion would do me right

What I'm really needin', ah, double shot tonight



By the midnight hour, we were on our way

She was takin' it higher, higher, higher, higher, then I heard her say



Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down, lay it down



(Solo)



By the midnight hour, we were on our way

She was takin' it higher, higher, higher, higher, then I heard her say



Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
