Music Matters

You told me to look much further
And to chase the dogs back from my door
Head blown by Type R or was it the true star?

You told me the music matters
You told me to look much further
A little more wise and courageous
You told me to look much further
And to chase the dogs back from my door
You told me the music matters
You told me to walk much more

Say Kurtis Blow singing into my pillow
I won't stop here, I won't be still until the sun sets on us all
You told me to walk much more
I won't stop here, I won't be still until the sun sets on us all

You told me to walk much more
From Dali Lama to Tanamo, Curtis Mayfield
You told me the music matters
I won't stop here, I won't be still until the sun sets on us all

Under the sheets with my radio turn down low
You told me the music matters
You told me the music matters
For all those for whom music was a message
You told me the music matters
So nobody know it's the late night show
I want to thank you for making me a little more sure
And praying I don't dose until my 9 volt battery goes

Hopin' to hear 'Hey Joe', Jimmy was my hero

And to chase the dogs back from my door
