Well, I tried to run my game, she said, man,
that's the same old thing I heard before
And I'm too tired to go for your show
I have seen what you're playing
I just can't take it any more
Play something I can sing
Play something I can't understand
Play me some Ricky O 'Brien
Yeah, I started to sweat,
Cause you just might break a string
And that won't do a thing
For your show, don't you know
So I said to myself, I said self
sailing through your soul
Play something I can't understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Well, well, well, it's enough
to make a life in the dark
It's enough to make a fire just so far
It's enough to make her eyes up,
Play something I can sing
Play something I can understand
Make me lay back and drift like a monkey
Play somethin' I can't understand
Play me some brickyard blues
