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 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' 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

It's enough to make it 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 a dog
Play somethin' sweet
