[Verse 1] Got a pocket full of grooves And a worn-out pair of shoes I chase the moon in circles Then I sing the whole night through My hands know what to hold My heart knows what to lose If you ask me what I want I got one thing to choose [Pre-Chorus] I keep that fire low Then I let it roll Every scar I wear Turns to gold [Chorus] Making music is my lust and my life (oh yeah, my lust and my life) Doo-wop and blues is what I like (shoo-wop, what I like) When the hard times bite I still feel alright Making music is my lust and my life [Verse 2] I learned it from the pavement From a radio at dawn From a crack in every teacup And a chain gang sing-along Baby, when my days run thin I let that old song in It pulls me back together Starts me breathing once again [Pre-Chorus] I keep that fire low Then I let it roll Every scar I wear Turns to gold [Chorus] Making music is my lust and my life (oh yeah, my lust and my life) Doo-wop and blues is what I like (shoo-wop, what I like) When the hard times bite I still feel alright Making music is my lust and my life [Bridge] Ain't it funny how the hurt Can turn into a tune I can take a broken evening And make it shimmer in the room [Chorus] Making music is my lust and my life (oh yeah, my lust and my life) Doo-wop and blues is what I like (shoo-wop, what I like) When the hard times bite I still feel alright Making music is my lust and my life
