Lyrics
I almost lost my smile
I nearly lost my sense of happiness or contentment.
I almost lost my grace
I nearly lost my dignity or poise.
I almost lost everything
I nearly lost everything in my life.
'Cause I refused to pull the breaks
Because I didn't want to slow down or take a break.
Thought I was riding on the tracks
I thought I was on the right path, but I was actually going off course.
But I was sliding on the berm
I was skidding on the edge of the road.
I kept flying through the turns
I continued moving through life's twists and turns.
Never thought I'd crash and burn
I never anticipated a failure or downfall.
Because all my life, I've played it high to my boogie song
Throughout my life, I've lived to the rhythm of my boogie song.
I knew I had to throw the dice
I understood that taking risks was necessary.
I knew I had to spin the wheel
I knew I had to face uncertainties or take chances.
I kept beating on my horse
I persisted in my efforts even when life seemed unreal.
'Cause I felt life wasn't for real
I kept going because I felt life lacked authenticity.
I kept the bottle on the table
I maintained vices to cope with challenges.
Rolled a joint to make it stable
I used substances to find stability.
I kept writing all the checks
I kept making financial commitments.
Mr. "Catch Me If You're Able"
I portrayed myself as someone elusive or hard to catch.
Because all my life, I played it high to my boogie song
Throughout my life, I've lived to the rhythm of my boogie song.
Said in my life, I'm always high with my boogie song
In my life, I'm consistently in a state of euphoria with my boogie song.
I raced the crocs up in the river
I competed with challenges in the river.
I chased the sharks deep in the sea
I confronted difficulties in the sea.
I took a swim down in the moat
I ventured into risky situations.
And dared the sirens to call for me
I challenged all sorts of temptations.
I wouldn't let them tie me down
I refused to be restrained or tied down.
I kept jumping like a flea
I kept moving freely, agile like a flea.
I kept calling out for love
I kept seeking love without noticing it reciprocate.
So, I never heard it call for me
I was so focused on seeking love that I missed its call.
Because all my life, I've played it high to my boogie song
Throughout my life, I've lived to the rhythm of my boogie song.
Said in my life, I'm always high with my boogie song
In my life, I'm consistently in a state of euphoria with my boogie song.
