[Intro – slow bass groove, breathy tenor sax]
[Blues Choir – low rhythmic hum]
Mmm… mmm…
Mmm… mmm…
[Lead – gravelly]
There it is…
That little rhythm.
Don’t you stop now.
[Verse 1]
You’ve been moving with that beat
Since the lights went down,
Slow enough to steal my breath
Without making a sound.
Every time that bass rolls low,
You lean a little near.
Every time that saxophone cries,
You make your meaning clear.
Don’t need to change the rhythm,
Don’t need to change a thing.
Just keep moving nice and slow
And let that six-string sing.
[Blues Choir – low]
Don’t stop…
Don’t stop moving…
[Chorus – hypnotic grinding groove]
Don’t stop moving,
Keep that rhythm slow.
Don’t stop moving,
Baby, let it roll.
Left… right…
Nice and easy tonight.
Don’t stop moving,
You’re doing it just right.
[Blues Choir]
DON’T STOP MOVING…
DON’T STOP MOVING…
[Tenor sax – dirty low response]
[Verse 2]
Hammond humming underneath,
Smoke hanging in the air.
That old guitar is crying,
But I ain’t looking over there.
Because you found that pocket
Somewhere behind the beat,
And every slow turn you’re making
Turns up another degree.
Let everybody disappear,
Let midnight have its way.
As long as that band’s still playing,
I’ve got no reason to stray.
[Blues Choir – soulful]
Keep it moving…
Nice and slow…
[Lead]
Yeah…
Right there.
[Instrumental – tenor sax and guitar trade phrases]
[Sax – breathy low growl]
[Guitar – long crying bend]
[Sax – slow rising answer]
[Chorus]
Don’t stop moving,
Keep that rhythm slow.
Don’t stop moving,
Baby, let it roll.
Left… right…
Nice and easy tonight.
Don’t stop moving,
You’re doing it just right.
[Bridge – drums drop out, bass pulses]
[Lead – low]
Hold it…
[Brief pause]
Now bring that groove back.
[Drums return – heavy and lazy]
[Blues Choir]
Ohhhhhhh…
[Tenor sax – dirty descending phrase]
[Breakdown – hypnotic repetition]
Move…
Slow…
Let that bass
Take control.
Sway…
Roll…
Let that dirty
Saxophone moan.
[Blues Choir – building]
DON’T STOP…
DON’T STOP…
DON’T STOP MOVING…
[Lead]
Keep that fire burning.
[Final Chorus – full band and choir]
DON’T STOP MOVING,
Keep that rhythm slow.
Don’t stop moving,
Let the whole thing roll.
Bass down deep,
Six-string crying all night.
That dirty sax is talking,
And the feeling’s just right.
[Blues Choir – huge]
DON’T STOP MOVING!
DON’T STOP MOVING!
[Lead]
All night long…
[Outro – extended tenor sax, Hammond underneath]
[Lead – gravelly whisper]
Don’t stop on my account…
I’m enjoying the view.
[Blues Choir – fading]
Mmmmmm…
