| 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 for your show
|
| (again and again)
|
| And she started to explain
|
| She said «Man, I ain’t sayin'
|
| what you’re playin' just can’t make it But I can’t take it anymore»
|
| Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
|
| Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
|
| Play something I can understand
|
| Play me some Brickyard Blues
|
| Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
|
| Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
|
| Play something I can understand
|
| Play me some Brickyard Blues
|
| Well, I started to sweat
|
| She said «Don't get upset,
|
| 'cause you just might break a string and that won’t
|
| do a thing for your show»
|
| So I said to myself
|
| I said, «Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?»
|
| And I gotta have some more, don’t ya know
|
| Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello
|
| Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
|
| Play something I can understand
|
| Play me some Brickyard Blues
|
| Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
|
| Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
|
| Play something I can understand
|
| Play me some Brickyard Blues
|
| It’s enough to make it light the dark
|
| It’s enough to make a bite just a bark
|
| It’s enough to make a body move around
|
| It’s enough to make a rabbit hug a dog
|
| Play somethin' sweet
|
| 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 for your show»
|
| (again and again)
|
| And she started to explain
|
| She said, «Man, I ain’t sayin'
|
| what you’re playin' just can’t make it, but I just can’t take it any more»
|
| Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello
|
| Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
|
| Play something I can understand
|
| Play me some Brickyard Blues
|
| Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
|
| Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
|
| Play something I can understand
|
| Play me some Brickyard Blues
