TITLE: Whiskey, Smoke & Groove [Verse 1] I woke up this morning with the blues on my mind, Sun coming up but I was feeling left behind, Coffee on the table, old records on the floor, Been through hard times but I keep walking through the door. Got a hole in my pocket and some miles on my shoes, Life keeps teaching me with those old-school blues, But when that bass starts thumping and the guitar starts to cry, I lift my head up and let the worries pass by. [Chorus] Give me that whiskey, smoke, and groove tonight, A funky little rhythm that'll make everything right, Got the blues in my heart but the funk in my soul, When the music starts moving, I lose all control. [Verse 2] The bartender smiled and said, "You're back again," I said, "The blues and me, we're still best friends," The band hit a groove and the whole room swayed, Every problem I carried slowly drifted away. Saxophone singing like a midnight train, Guitar bending notes through the heartache and pain, People dancing together underneath neon light, Turning hard days into a beautiful night. [Chorus] Give me that whiskey, smoke, and groove tonight, A funky little rhythm that'll make everything right, Got the blues in my heart but the funk in my soul, When the music starts moving, I lose all control. [Bridge] Sometimes life gets heavy, Sometimes life gets rough, But a good groove and a good song Can be more than enough. The bass keeps talking, The drums keep time, And every little heartbeat Falls right into line. [Verse 3] Now the moon is hanging over this old town, The music keeps lifting me when I'm feeling down, I've got scars from the road and stories untold, But this funky blues feeling never gets old. The crowd keeps singing while the band plays on, Nobody wants to see this midnight magic gone, So raise your glass high and let the good times roll, For the blues in your heart and the funk in your soul. [Final Chorus] Give me that whiskey, smoke, and groove tonight, A funky little rhythm that'll make everything right, Got the blues in my heart but the funk in my soul, When the music starts moving, I lose all control. Whiskey, smoke, and groove tonight, Everything's gonna be
