About Doctor

"The Doctor" is a hit single released by The Doobie Brothers on their 1989 studio album, Cycles. The song, so far, is the last hit single that the band has released; it reached the number 1 spot on the Billboard mainstream rock chart and peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was released with a music video that features the band playing to the tune with all of the members present. The video also got significant airplay on the music video channels throughout the US and helped propel the song into the spotlight. Guitarist and founding member Tom Johnston sang the lead vocal, after returning from years of being out of the band after Michael McDonald took over in the mid-1970s. Johnston told Songfacts that he wrote the bulk of the song before the band re-formed when he was in a band called Border Patrol. more »

The Doctor 
The Doobie Brothers
Johnston/Midnight/Schwartz 

I'm a man who lives in the city
I'm a man who lives in the street
From F.L.A. to Frisco Bay
And everywhere in between 
Coast to coast there's a question
Everybody's always askin' me
People want to know everywhere I go
What can the answer be 

Music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Listen to the doctor
Just like you ought to
Music is the doctor of my soul 

Well it seems that when I travel
And I'm out there on the road
The freedom I need is the freedom I leave
In my good time rock and roll 

There's a healing in those guitars
And a spirit in the song
No matter what condition your rhythm is in
The message goes on and on 

Music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Listen to the doctor
Just like you ought to
Music is the doctor of my soul 

If you ever wonder
How to shake your blues
Just follow this prescription
And get the cure for what's ailin' you 

Music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Listen to the doctor
Just like you ought to
Music is the doctor of my soul
