Well, I tried to run my game
She said, man, that's the same old
thing I've heard before
And I'm too tired to go
Will you show up again and again?
And she started to explain, she said,
man, ain't what you're sayin'
What you're playin' just don't make it
And I'm too tired to take it anymore
Play somethin' sweet,
play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink
my teeth in like jello
Play somethin' I can understand
Play me some breakout blues
Well I started to sweat
She said don't get upset
Cause you might just break a string
And that won't do a thing
For your show, no
So I said to myself
I said self, do you see
What is sailing through my soul I've got to have some more,
don't you know?
Play something sweet, now make it funky
Just let me lay back and
grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some backyard blues
It's enough to make a light in the dark
It's enough to make a bite just to bark
It's enough to make a
body move around
It's enough to make a
rabbit hug a hound
Bless on the street, I'll make it mellow
Just let me sink my teeth in like jitter
Play something I can't understand,
play me some brickyard blues
Play something sweet, now make it funky
Just let me lay back and
grin like a monkey
Play something I can't understand,
play me some brickyard blues
