Doobies' "It Keeps You Running"

Anyone know how to play this song? I have scoured the net and can't
find anything.

Funny.
I bought a "Best of the Doobies" album when I was in high school, and
THAT song (and "South City Midnight Lady") were the two that I always
skipped over.

Yet, years later, somehow both of those songs are imprinted on my
brain well enough to remember them vividly.

The irony is that I can't remember people's names when I meet them.
Maybe I should associate them with music.

Remembering a tune and it being good aren't synonomos! One particularly
egregious example comes to mind as I type this- "Tie A Yellow Ribbon"/

GAAAAACK! I remember launching for the FM change song dial in the car
as a teen over to something Steely Dan or Yes w/ that one. It's as carny
barker /lizard lounge as they get .

To those just itching now to type something about $$$... (because I
can't imagine a single soul with any musicianship whatsoever LIKING that
tune)

"Make money your idol and it will plague you like the devil" :-) mvm

South City Midnight Lady (which I really like) always seemed like a
song that the Eagles might have written and decided not to use, so
they gave it to the Doobie Bros. Good tune.

Fair enough. I was after the more rockin' Doobie songs at the time,
and "South City Midnight Lady" was way too mellow. I didn't have
strong objections to either song, they were just not the rock I so
desperately needed to hear.

Good call on the Eagles reference. Glen Frey would have sung it,
right?

Agreed on Bernie Leadon. I just punched up South City on Youtube as I
hadn't heard it in years. In the related links was a video for
"Another Park, Another Sunday". I had completely forgotten about that
song. Love the bass part in that one.

While I'm no Micheal McDonald , but the singing on the song
would drive a sane man to go postal in a Wallymart.

I agree, the early stuff is much better, but I have a reggae version
of this song stuck in my head--just guitar and drums, no cheesy
synths--and it does have a really great line: "I know what it means
to hide your heart from a long time ago..." Whatever else you may
think about the song, that is poetic.
