Brickyard Blues

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

To your show

Again and again" and she started to explain

She said, "Man, I ain't sad

But you're playin' just can't make it

But I just can't take it anymore"

Play something sweet

Now make it mellow

Play something I can sink my teeth in like Jell-O

Play something I can understand, yes

Play me some brickyard blues

Play something sweet

Now make it funky

Let me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand, yeah

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"

And so I said to myself, I said, "Self, do you see

What is sailing through my soul?"

Got to have some more, don't you know?

Play something sweet

Now make it mellow

Play something I can sink my teeth in like Jell-O

Play something I can understand, yeah

Play me some brickyard blues

Play something sweet

Now make it funky

Let me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand, yeah

Play me some brickyard blues

Oh, it's enough to make a light in 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 the hound

Play something sweet, now make it mellow

Play something I can sink my teeth in like Jell-O

Play something I can understand, yeah

Play me some brickyard blues

Play something sweet

Now make it funky

Oh, let me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand, yes

Play me some brickyard blues
