Cherry Poppin' Daddies - 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
