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 brought down the house The DJ's turnin' out, 1975 His surrender was total and complete Down to his dancin' feet And he gave it up for love
He gave it up for love
Santana played with the Winds on Fire And the way of the world became his heart 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
Wasn't gravity that kept him there? But the music and the magic in the air
