The Doctor

I'm a man who lives in the city

I'm a man who lives in the street

From F.L.A. to Frisco Bay

And everywhere in between

Coast to coast there's a question

Everybody's always askin' me

People wanna know everywhere I go

What can the answer be

I tell them music is the doctor

Makes you feel like you want to

You gotta listen to the doctor

Just like you ought to

Music is the doctor of my soul

Well it seems that when I tell 'em

And I'm out there on the road

The freedom I need is the freedom I leave

In the good time rock and roll

There's a healing in those guitars

And a spirit in the song

No matter what condition your rhythm is in

The message goes on and on

Music is the doctor

Makes you feel like you want to

So listen to the doctor

Just like you ought to

I said, music is the doctor of my soul

If you ever wonder

Just how to shake your blues

Just follow this prescription

And get the cure for what is ailin' you

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Music is the doctor)

Music is the doctor

(Feel like you want to)

Feel like you want to

(Listen to the doctor)

Listen to the doctor

(Like you ought to)

Just like you ought to

(Music is the doctor of my soul)

Music is the doctor of my soul

Music is the doctor

Makes you feel like you want to

You gotta listen to the doctor

Yeah, like you ought to

I said, music is the doctor of my soul
