Joe's Blues
(专辑: Songs For The Daily Planet - 1994)
You can't groove on dope You can't groove on wine If you're trying to catch a
groove on TV, man You're wasting your time Well, you can't do what you want You won't get far You know the
only way to groove Is on a
bass guitar You find a
loose bit of rhythm Then you lock in tight Yes, you roll on it over and over Till it sounds just exactly right You can learn to sing lead If you need to be a
star But the
only way to groove Is on a
bass guitar It fills out the
bottom, dirty and mean Down right greasy when the
sound man's clean The
eyes in the
room, they all looking at the
star The
butts are all shaking to the
bass guitar You could dress real cool And wear dark shades You might be sleek, sharp And shiny just like a
razor blade You drive around town In a
long black car But the
only way to groove Is on a
bass guitar It fills out the
bottom, dirty and mean Down right grunge when the
sound guy's clean The
eyes in the
room, they's all looking at the
star The
butts are all shaking to the
bass guitar Play it for me one time, my brother You know me friend The
good doctor Joe Murrey brought me this song He told me it was the
perfect country And western song I
told him it was not the
perfect country And western song 'Cause it didn't mention momma It didn't mention trucks Hell, it didn't even have a
country beat It's more of a
jazz thing and it's about bass I
dunno what he's talking about Check him out though, he's good Joe, do something Yes, you can do what you want
