Preacher's daughter she played a fool
Had herself a knack to go and break a rule
Took off for the city without a trace
Sick of ol' rev calling her a disgrace
Quit singin' the devil's music
I can tell that your soul needs soothing
Quit singin' devil's music he'd always say
Girl knew one day that she'd make him pay
Showed up downtown no place to land
Only thing on her mind was to join a band
The bass line keeps jumpin
The kick drum keeps bumpin
The keys keep thumpin
The guitar keeps strummin
29 minutes since he was clean
Head in the clouds walkin' down the street
Sister keeps sayin' that he needs routine
But agenda's been the same since he's been 18
The kid called Naughty was frayed and torn
A headstrong cat since the day he's born
Three years in the city taught him how to move
Only joy in his life is layin' down a groove
The bass line keeps jumpin
The kick drum keeps bumpin
The keys keep thumpin
The guitar keeps strummin'
