Walking down the city streets into the glaring light
         D#sus4 D#
Glaring light
     C#sus2                                   D#  D#sus4 D#
The girls got me rocking this red hot summer night,
        D#sus4 D#
Summer night
   C#sus2                                   D# D#sus4 D#
I walk up to the Monkey Bar for a drink or two
             D#sus4 D#
A drink or two
     C#sus2                                              A#
The way you dance helps me to forget the reason I feel blue, oh yeah

Chorus:
            A#                      G#
I feel the roots in my boots every move I make
            A#                          G#
I feel the roots in my boots, whatever comes my way
            A#                         G#        D#
I feel the roots in my boots when the music rocks
      D#
It's simply in my blood

They take me to the place where the night is screaming hot, screaming hot
Where the good life shines a light and the party never stops, never stops
I live my life to the fullest, here comes another show, another show
And it's always just hit and run, but never time to go
Oh no

Chorus

I live my life to the fullest, here comes another show, another show
And it's always just hit and run, but never time to go
Oh no

Chorus
