Can't get it right for getting it wrong
that's why there's sad country music
or a heart breaking tear jerking poem
and some of us will never get use to it.
Just play me a happy go lucky song
cause that's what I really want to hear
Some rock to roll and get me home
no blues for me when you are near.
I don't really want to hear no bad or sad
so just play me the Eagles and C.C.R.
Then toss in some John Prine and Cash
can the Stones still set the world on fire.
Just give me the Beach Boys and some sand
or the Ventures with that quick guitar sound
A bit of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
for fun in the sun with my friends all around.
The old lonesome blues just makes me cry
these tears to fill a muddy river to the top
On a beautiful day with the sun in the sky
I want to hear some nineteen fifties bebop.
I want to hold you and dance every night
to the Beatles grooving eight days a week
Forgiving all wrongs and making things right
Commodores and Miracles swing on the street.
I don't really want to hear no bad or sad
so just play me the Eagles and C.C.R.
Then toss in some John Prine and Cash
can the Stones still set the world on fire.
Just give me the Beach Boys and some sand
or the Ventures with that quick guitar sound
A bit of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
for fun in the sun with my friends all around.
