The Doctor

I'm a man who lives in the city
I'm a man who lives in the street
From F.L.A. up to Frisco Bay
And everywhere in between

From coast to coast, there's a question
Everybody's always askin' me
People wanna know everywhere I go
What can the answer be?

I tell 'em music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Like I don't listen to the doctor
Just like you ought to
Music is the doctor
Of my soul

Well, it seems that when I travel
And I'm out there on the road
The freedom I need is the freedom I leave
And my good time's rock and roll

There's a healing in those guitars
And a spirit in the song
No matter what condition your rhythm is in
The message goes on and on

Music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Listen to the doctor
Just like you ought to
I said music is the doctor
Of my soul

If you ever wonder
Just how to shake your blues
Just follow this prescription
And get the cure for what's ailin' you
Yeah-yeah-yeah

(Music is the doctor) music is the doctor
(Feel like you want to) feel like you want to
(Listen to the doctor) listen to the doctor
(Like you ought to) just like you ought to
(Music is the doctor) music is the doctor
Of my soul

Music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Cling on and listen to the doctor
Yeah, like you ought to
I said music is the doctor
Of my soul
