The Real Thing |
I was on a bus comin' back to us From Atlanta in '53 |
And I picked up a Rhythm & Blues magazine |
Layin' underneath my seat |
And I found out the stuff they’d been playin' us Wasn’t made from grits and bone |
And it would take more than the Crew Cuts |
And Pat Boone to take me home |
I want the real thing |
Give me the real thing |
Make it loud I’ll make you proud |
Or the songs they’d sing |
I don’t want you under my roof with your 86 proof |
Watered down ''til it tastes like tea |
You’re gonna pull my string |
Make it the real thing |
I remember old Elvis when he forgot |
To remember to forget |
And when young Johnny Cash hadn’t seen this side of Big River yet |
And old Luther and Lewis and Perkins was pickin |
And playin' them songs for me I want the real thing |
Give me the real thing |
Make it loud I’ll make you proud |
Or the songs they’d sing |
I don’t want you under my roof with your 86 proof |
Watered down 'til it tastes like tea |
You’re gonna pull my string |
Make it the real thing |
