It's Good Enough To Keep (Airmail Special) - Live

作曲：Alan Paul,Benny Goodman,Charles Christian,James Mundy

The jam is jumpin'

the drums are pumpin'

the groove is lockin' in the rhythm like we want it to be

No time for stallin'

We're really haulin'

we've gotta keep it in the pocket or we'll stagger behind

You never know just when to leave it when you're riffin' in time

Or if the time itself will falter, or of words even rhyme

But we admit, the ** to it is not to think about it

when you're busy bravin' all the notes in the line

This time we mean it

We're gonna swing it

And take you right up to the end before we try to unwind

Alan's solo:

I've never been the kind of guy who could just normally quit

Never could decide when to rest my pride

and feel all right with just good enough

Thoughts, they gather

tellin' me to look to find a bright new way

to assemble all the stimulated motives that haunt me

tryin' a live it, be in the moment, tryin' to sing it alone

can beckon to me, a feelin' of being bent

so I believe, takin' a leave is the brightest way to stop

All the chatter boxin' going 'round in my brain

so I'm wailin' - movin' and groovin' this part of this song

I hope that my riff's good enough to keep

better leave it now or go out of my mind

Violin Solo

Tim's solo:

Now I dig you think that perfect's what we should make it

But I've been down that road and I can tell ya how we feel's

the most important thing about it

Whether you're right or whether you might think

we're pathetic

A little lighter on the reins will help you loosen up the chains

that are still binding you -

In the past, whenever thoughts I had would try to re-

evaluate all that i would do

I'd hesitate, consolidate, and motivate

All the little pearls of doubt that strive to break up

every single bit of

precious joy that flowed from God's soul spark that

shines within me

That's it in a nut shell

So take advice from this sap, go for feel and leave it alone

Mandolin Solo:

Now's the time to sing

Swing is what we bring

Rhythm that's the thing

To really get your spirit movin' higher

Gonna jump and play

Dance the night away

Make you really sway

And let the music take you even higher

E-lla sang this song real special

Come on, come on - we'll sing this special song for you

One more one we'll go

but before we blow

we want you to know

The take is really good enough, we'll keep it!
