music is my baby

Verse 1

Momma hollered from the kitchen

Don't you touch that dial

Leave the station humming

Let it play a while

She knew my restless spirit

Needed rhythm to survive

Said a song can hold you steady

When the whole world takes a dive

Pre-Chorus

So I keep it playing low

Let the horns begin to blow

Chorus

Music is my baby

Rocking me slow

Music is my baby

Never lets me go

When my pockets empty

And my luck runs thin

Music is my baby

That's the fix I'm in

Verse 2

I was seventeen and reckless

Broke and chasing sound

Spent my last few dollars

On a record spinning round

Every note a promise

Every chord a friend

Turned the volume higher

Till the trouble reached its end

Pre-Chorus

So I let the drummer roll

Let the rhythm take control

Chorus

Music is my baby

Rocking me slow

Music is my baby

Never lets me go

When my pockets empty

And my luck runs thin

Music is my baby

That's the fix I'm in

Bridge

Momma said don't turn it down

Momma said don't turn it down

Turn it up

Turn it up

Turn it up

Chorus

Music is my baby

Rocking me slow

Music is my baby

Never lets me go

When my pockets empty

And my luck runs thin

Music is my baby

That's the fix I'm in
