Every Day You're Away - Live

Did you call her today?
Did you call her today?
Did you make time to say
That you need her today?
Most girls rely on a message
Some text or tweet
One call can give your expressage
Something much more sweet

So, did you call her today?
You should call her today
From a stop on the way
At the club or cafe
Every day you're away
Make the time just to say
That your baby's your bae

Did you call her today?
I dig that touring life now it's a gasser
It's just what I asked fer!
Blowing hosannas on the stand
With cats who can dazzle on the stand is unsurpassed sir

You get out and shake that moneymaker, night and day
You circle the world by tipping tempos and sail away
With every horn that's looking for something
Some unspeakable signature figure that signals a swinger
Big math stuff ain't no thing for cats who swing
I like my dirty, greasy, no-fool, soul food from the old school
Where vibe is the rule
Vibe that's from the sweet-hot street
I like feeling that beat
And tapping my feet from my seat
To Hi-Fi vinyl on the sweet repeat

Oh, wax spinnin'
But none of that's winnin' if you've got no baby
A-waiting for you when you tumble to home
You turn the key to lonely echoes of empty
A man needs a family for his house, a home to be
So, take a tip from one who sees the short and quick
The guarantee of what's happy
Without love you'll sink like a rock gone inky in the drink, boy

One love
One real love will see you through when time and tide
Gets to busy beating you black and blue
You lose that blue hue with one true beautiful baby
So, make that call without no more delay
And tell that pretty baby you will sway heaven and earth
Just to keep her your queen and to stay
Man, promise her the milky way
If it means that she will keep time with you one more day

Did you call her today?
You should call her today
From a stop on the way
At the club or cafe
Every day you're away
Make the time just to say
That your baby's your bae

Did you call her today?
Boy, you should call her today
