Lyrics

Right now you need it Driving yourself through the hard times Traffic won't speed up, so you turn the radio on But it's the same old stuff that just makes you yawn Well somehow he feels it and the DJ here at the station Sends sweet salvation when he starts to play this song Now you can't help singin' along Even though you never heard it You keep singin' it wrong This song will keep you grooving (keep that traffic moving) Play it to lift your spirits (soon as you hear it) Words are speaking to you (as if they knew you) Ooh, this song's the one (Keep traffic moving) Play it to lift your spirits Words are speaking to you Ooh, this song's the one (Keep traffic moving) Play it to lift your spirits (soon as you hear it) Words are speaking to you (as if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Even though you never heard it You keep singing it wrong This song's the one And then they start mixing it up When you're tired and scared of missing something Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better Enter that song Now that's how we know the power of song can save When you're tired and scared of missing something Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better Enter that song Now that's how we know the power of song can save A song can save Well it can surely save the day and keep you grooving (Keep traffic moving) Play it to lift your spirits Words are speaking to you Yes, this song's the one (Keep traffic moving) Play it to lift your spirits (soon as you hear it) Words are speaking to you (as if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Smiling and driving, sounds like soon it might be over So you pull over and start scrambling for a pen But then the verse comes in again Paper in hand, you can't help movin' while you're listenin' Your skin starts bristling, here comes the part you know And you can't help singing along Even though you never heard it You keep singing it wrong This song will keep you grooving (Keeps traffic moving) Play it to lift your spirits (soon as you hear it) The words are speaking to you (as if they knew you) Ooh, this song's the one (Keep traffic moving) Play it to lift your spirits When the words are speaking to you Ooh, this song's the one (Keep traffic moving) Play it to lift your spirits (soon as you hear it) Words are speaking to you (as if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Yes, this song's the one Now if you want to Sing it loud with love, with love in your heart (Play it to lift your spirits) Because you like to, because you need to This song's the one Now if you want to Sing it loud with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to Now if you want to Sing it loud with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to Now if you want to Sing it loud with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to Now if you want to Sing it loud with love, with love in your heart
