Just What the Doctor Ordered
Ted Nugent Lyrics

I got my guitar when I was 10 years old
At the age of 10, I began my love for music with the acquisition of my first guitar

Found a love in rock an' roll
I quickly discovered that rock and roll was my favorite genre of music

Now I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown
Due to my intense passion for music and performing, I have almost reached the point of mental exhaustion

I'm gonna give my body and soul
Despite the risk of mental and physical exhaustion, I am willing to give every ounce of my being to music

It's so crazy
Although my passion for music may seem extreme, it is a part of who I am and what I love

But you know that I like it
Despite the mental and physical tolls, I truly enjoy and take pleasure in performing music

I've found a cure for my body and soul
Performing music acts as a relief and remedy for both my physical and emotional needs

I've got me an overdose of rock and roll
My love and passion for rock and roll has become so extreme that it could be considered an 'overdose'

I jammed everyday
To perfect my craft, I dedicated myself to daily music practice

I jammed everynight
Even after a long day, I continued working hard to improve my music skills

I practiced till I knew all the licks
Through persistent practice, I've learned and memorized all the intricate parts of the music

I don't know the meaning of quit
My relentless passion for music has made quitting an obsolete concept

It crushes my head, my brain is on the border
As a result of my dedication, I have experienced immense mental strain and pressure

But this is what the doctor ordered, yes, it is
Despite the tolls, music is my true calling and my ultimate remedy for physical and emotional needs
