I cut my teeth on gumbo rock

Benny Spellman and Doctor John

Sweet Irma Thomas and Frog man Henry

Use to boogie woogie all night long

Though I love rock and roll the acoustic guitar

was the only way I had of becoming a star

I knew it recognized and traveling around

But they won't play my record in my ol' hometown



If I had saxophones

Big baritone, cleanin' up the muddy breaks

If I had Saxophones

I could get some recognition from

that Mobile Alabama DJ



Livin' by the ocean sometimes I get the notion

To take my Jane to Alabam

We hang out in a funky little bar

They call it the Shipwreck lounge

Well, we get kinda drunk and we play rock and roll

Grabbin' everybody right down in their soul

When we get to cookin' something's still wrong

There's still something missing from them good old songs



If we had saxophones

Big baritone, cleaning up the muddy breaks

If we had saxophones

I could make that joint shimmy like a big

California earthquake



If we had saxophone

Big baritones, cleaning up the muddy breaks

If we had saxophone

I could get some recognition from

that Mobile Alabama DJ
