Journey lyrics - Lay It Down

album: Escape (1981)
genre:

Looking '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 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) 
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 
I'm really needin' 
A double shot tonight 

By the midnight hour 
We were on our way 
She was takin' it higher 
Oh higher, higher, higher, then I heard her say 
Lay it down (lay it down) 
Lay it down (lay, lay it) 
Lay it down (lay it down) 
Lay it down 

By the midnight hour 
We were on our way 
She was takin' it higher 
Ooh higher, higher, higher, then I heard her say 
Whoa, ooh, yeah baby 
Lay it down (lay it down) 
Lay it down (lay it) 
Lay it down (lay it down) 
Lay it down (lay it) 

Lay it down (lay it down) 
Lay it down (lay it) 
Lay it down (lay it down) 
Lay it down, yeah
