Well, I used to play guitar 'til my fingers used to bleed
I listened to the music of B.B. King and Lightnin' Jimmy B
And through the years I found out that it's not how loud you play
It's the way you play, the way you say just what you gotta say
And if it's soft soundin' music
That's the kind to set me free
'Cause if it's soft soundin' music
That's the only kind for me
Well, we used to sing like fools, and the seaside was our stage
Johnny was a-rockin' in every town from Jersey to L.A
And some folks they like beaches and others they like fairs
But I just figure that to each his own, if it's groovy, then who cares?
And if it's soft soundin' music
That's the kind to set me free
'Cause if it's soft soundin' music
That's the only kind for me
I like soft talkin' girls and music to be heard
It makes a conversation with those quiet little words
I never seem to get enough of what I like to hear
And like music talkin' girls women whisper in my ear
And if it's soft soundin' music
That's the kind to set me free
'Cause if it's soft soundin' music
That's the only kind for me
