Lyrics

Groovin' (Out On Life)

I get my kicks from watching people

Running too and fro

And if you ask them where they're going

Half of the don't know

They're the ones who think I'm crazy

But they don't realize

Chorus

That I'm just groovin, groovin

Grooving out on life

I'm just groovin ooh groovin

Groovin till I die

I see a river flowing by me

Heading for the sea

I get a feeling deep inside me

It's so good to be free

I've got sunshine in the daytime

And moonlight every night

And I'm just groovin ...... Etc

I see a river flowing by me

Heading for the sea

I get a feeling deep inside me

It's so good to be free

I've got sunshine in the daytime

And moonlight every night

And I'm just groovin ...... Etc

Chorus

That I'm just groovin, groovin

Grooving out on life

I'm just groovin and I can't stop movinG...

Groovin till I die...
