He said goodbye to the Cannonball when Curtis Jackson was yet to crawl
He had a photo of a Gran Torino from Ohio on the wall
He got deeper into the sound when the big debate was Watergate
Marlena and Roberta made him feel like makin' love
He remembers
The boogie board down the house
The DJs turned it out
in 1975
His surrender
Was total and complete
Down to his dancin' feet
And he gave it up for love
Santana played with the winds of fire and the way of the world became his hearts desire
He met a girl freckles on her face they found a place for the summer
This was a time of space and rhapsody his hair was long lord knows the sound was funky
Herbie and Stevie held the keys to his fantasies
He remembers
The boogie board down the house
The DJs turned it out
in 1975
His surrender
Was total and complete
Down to his dancin' feet
And he gave it up for love
Wasn't gravity that kept him there
But the music and the magic in the air
He remembers
The boogie brought down the house
The DJs turned it out
1975
His surrender
Was total and complete
Down to his dancin' feet
And he gave it up for love
