Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr - Melodies

Chorus:
Oh the music frees me
I ride away on the melodies
They take me away from pain
They take me straight into peace

Just a note a few keys
I'm just a soul on sweet Jesus
Just hold on to please me
Oh, just hold on – please, please

Verse 1:
I was a rebel in my younger days, oh
Accumulated my share of pain
Now I sing the blues, guess I paid to play
Oh I'll entertain you on a rainy day
I cry tears on the wooden stage, aah
Oh can you feel me? hey hey
I’ll give you more than a fair share
Trade you for my freedom, yeah yeah

Chorus:
Oh the music frees me
I ride away on the melodies
They take me away from pain
They take me straight into peace

Just a note a few keys
I'm just a soul on sweet Jesus
Just hold on to please me
Oh, just hold on – please, please

Verse 2:
Tell me who was BB King, Muddy Waters?
John Lee, Robert Johnson?
Oh, Elmore James, Janis Joplin?
Jimi and good ole Ray?
Take my pain and push it down, down
Squeeze it tight til almost dying, ahh
Let it loose and let it catch flight
Hop on top, I’m riding higher.

Chorus:
Yeah the music frees me
I ride away on the melodies
They take me away from pain
They take me straight into peace

Just a note a few keys
I'm just a soul on sweet Jesus
Just hold on to please me
Oh, just hold on – please, please
