Words & Music by David Marks (p)(c) 3rd Ear Music/SAMRO 1992
We used to sing in a rock 'n roll band
She sang folk songs in the bar
Our friends all played ethnic classics & jazz
So she moved east and learned to play the sitar .....
There were groups of poly-synthi sizers
That made us sound sooo good
We got stuck into that cocktail lounge & bar room balladeer circuit
6 strings attached to that peace of wood! She was the star!
We'll never get rich 'n famous (she cried)
Playing for love in the dark
We had a soul full of rhythm & blues
We were country boys at heart .....
e had a soul full of rhythm & blues
We were country boys at heart .....
But she got passed the truth she got over her dreams
she let go of her head and her heart
now she plays music by numbers for the king of the queens
shehe just loved to tear her apart .....
In their sequenced synthisizers
It made them seem look so good .....
While she went back to that cocktail lounge & bar room balladeer gig
6 strings attached to a piece of wood .....she's still a star .....
She never got rich 'n famous (we cry)
Playing for love in the park
Because we had a soul full of rhythm and blues
She's a country boy at heart .....
She's still got a soul filled with rhythm and blues .....
She's a country boy at heart
Beast or bitch devil or whitch? Brought up down in the south
Dancing to my downfall....putting thoughts (words) into my mouth
Steps into my shoes.....tunes into my blues .....
She understands!?
She had a soul filled with rhythm and blues .....
She was a country boy at heart...........
