Lay It Down

Written：Steve Perry/Neal Schon/Jonathan Cain

Lookin' '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 a-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 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

What I'm really needin'

Ah, double shot tonight.

By the midnight hour

We were on our way

She was takin' it higher

Higher, higher, higher, then I heard say

(chorus)
