I almost lost my smile
I almost lost my grace
I almost lost everything
'Cause I refused to pull the breaks
Thought I was riding on the tracks
But I was sliding on the berm
I kept flying through the turns
Never thought I'd crash and burn
Because all my life, I've played it high to my boogie song
I knew I had to throw the dice
I knew I had to spin the wheel
I kept beating on my horse
'Cause I felt life wasn't for real
I kept the bottle on the table
Rolled a joint to make it stable
I kept writing all the checks
Mr. "Catch Me If You're Able"
Because all my life, I played it high to my boogie song
Said in my life, I'm always high with my boogie song
I raced the crocs up in the river
I chased the sharks deep in the sea
I took a swim down in the moat
And dared the sirens to call for me
I wouldn't let them tie me down
I kept jumping like a flea
I kept calling out for love
So, I never heard it call for me
Because all my life, I've played it high to my boogie song
Said in my life, I'm always high with my boogie song
