Brickyard Blues

[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
