I'm a man who lives in the city   I'm a man who lives in the street   From F.L.A. to Frisco Bay   And everywhere in between   Coast to coast there's a question   Everybody's always askin' me   People want to know everywhere I go   What can the answer be      Music is the doctor   Makes you feel like you want to   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   In my good time 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   Music is the doctor of my soul      If you ever wonder   How to shake your blues   Just follow this prescription   And get the cure for what's ailin' you      Music is the doctor   Makes you feel like you want to   Listen to the doctor   Just like you ought to   Music is the doctor of my soul
