Just the Two of Us in the Pocket

We hit the street when the daylight leans

I got a little swing in the way we speak

Your laugh on the corner, my step on time

We make the whole block feel like a line

I move low, you flash that grin

I land just behind where the rhythm sits in

You toss me a glance

I toss back gold

Two small sparks

And the night turns bold

I'll set on a rise when the chorus comes near

Then I drop back down, keep it crystal clear

My heels in the groove, my mind in the shine

Every little hiccup lands right on time

I'm warm at the edge, I'm steady and sly

Breathing out sweet while the horns lift high

We hit that snap, I answer with flame

Different voices, same sweet game

Play it clean, play it right

We keep the pocket lit all night

Play it slow, play it right

Two hearts dancing in the light

No rush, no strain, just that good old feel

Bass talks loud and the drums stay real

And when the wild, wild smiles through the air

We know this groove was meant to share

Feel good right, let it roll

Hand in hand, soul to soul

Treating lines and making room

Funk so blooming and full bloom

Feel good right, let is stay

In that pocket all the way

Just the two of us side by side

With the one roof carrying us tonight
