I Love American Music Lyrics
I school 'em every chance I get
If they don't like it they're all wet
I'm a soft-eyed lover, swing time drummer
To rhythm I was born and bred
I've followed where it's led
I've wallowed and I've bled but
All it's given is one room livin' and
Sufferin' appalling debt
As the years go by
Yeah, my insight flowers
When that nightclub saxophone
Cuts a thousand years of cigar sour
Play it, play it again, Sam
I want American music
I need American music
I love American music
Nasty rockin' on an Ozark porch
My savior rattlin' in a Baptist church
Field hand hollers, slave ship collars
I'm carrying my brother's torch
When the lights go down
And my scales stop showin'
I'll smash my fingers down
On the only truth that's still worth knowin'
Play it, play it again, Sam
I want American music
I need American music
I love American music
When the lights go down
And my scales stop showin'
I'll smash my fingers down
On the only truth that's still worth knowin'
Play it, play it again, Sam
I want American music
I need American music
I love American music
If they don't like it they're all wet
I'm a soft-eyed lover, swing time drummer
To rhythm I was born and bred
I've wallowed and I've bled but
All it's given is one room livin' and
Sufferin' appalling debt
Yeah, my insight flowers
When that nightclub saxophone
Cuts a thousand years of cigar sour
I want American music
I need American music
I love American music
My savior rattlin' in a Baptist church
Field hand hollers, slave ship collars
I'm carrying my brother's torch
And my scales stop showin'
I'll smash my fingers down
On the only truth that's still worth knowin'
I want American music
I need American music
I love American music
And my scales stop showin'
I'll smash my fingers down
On the only truth that's still worth knowin'
I want American music
I need American music
I love American music
