Story behind the song
The primary line for this song was written by Dave "Chainsaw" Hawkins, and from there it mushroomed into a full fledged funk tune. The bass and drum interaction will slap you right in the face.
Lyrics
Shake your head there's no excuse
that you're feeling sad,
take some time to breath the air
there's so much to be had.
Can't you see the sun that shines
it's a happy day,
step into another world
and chase your blues away.
There's a chance to break the chains
life is too mundane,
there's a chance to get away
before you go insane.
Break the rules and find yourself
before you disappear,
don't be like those good ol boys
break loose of all your fears!
I am here
you are there
why waste time
life's not fair
I am here you are there.
(round and round and round we go
where we stop nobody knows)
SLOW DOWN!
Standing here I look at you
in such a far gone state
I've been where you are before
don't get into that fate.
Wash yourself of all that grime
the choice was always there,
give into your restless feelings
you'll feel good I swear.
Here's your chance to show your stuff
don't act like such a fool,
spread your wings and fly with me
it's time for us to rule!
I am here
you are there
cross that line
into air
I am here,
you are there,
(round and round and round we go
where we stop nobody knows)
Jump into my great big world
it's a happy place
take a drink of simple pleasure
where there's no disgrace.
there's a Turkey to drag you down
that's where nothing else is new
if you can't make lemonade
then make some Turkey STEW!
I am here you are there - re
I am here you are there
or are you?
This sounds like a difficult arrangement to do. Loved it.
