Backbeat Glow

Came in cool, caught a shine on the floor

I was leaning on the downbeat, asking for more

I laughed in the light, let my voice climb high

I answered from below with a velvet reply

Keep it low, keep it tight, let the pockets stay right

When the kick drum lands, we can ride all night

We got that backbeat flow

In an F major sky

Slat bass talking

In the wild, wild side

Take my hand, let the brass line ring

Feel good fire when the whole room swings

One more step and the troubles fade away

In this retro groove

We were born to play

Nine to five dust falling off my sleeve

You spun it to go with a quick toots that weave

Every little worry got left by the door

Now the drums keep time like a heartbeat encore

I bend up high, then I settle back down

You wear that smile like a crown in the crowd

If the world turns heavy, we lean and we slide

Let the loc' in, carry us side by side

One bright note, then a rise and fall

One warm laugh and we answer it all

We got that backbeat glow in an F major sky

Slap bass talkin' and the wild, wild side

Turn it up, let the horns take wing

Feel good fire when the whole room swings

Stay right here till the last bell rings

We keep that groove and we let it sing
