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 though 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 say

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
