I Love American Music Lyrics by Cherry Poppin’ Daddies

White Teeth, Black Thoughts

2013

I school 'em every chance I get
If they don't like it they're all wet
I'm a soft-eyed lover, swing time drummer
To rhythm I was born and bred
I've followed where it's led
I've wallowed and I've bled but
All it's given is one room livin' and
Sufferin' appalling debt
As the years go by
Yeah, my insight flowers
When that nightclub saxophone
Cuts a thousand years of cigar sour
Play it, play it again, Sam
I want American music
Play it, play it again, Sam
I need American music
Play it, play it again, Sam
I want American music
Play it, play it again, Sam
I love American music
Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)
Whoa (whoa), whoa oh oh
Nasty rockin' on an Ozark porch
My savior rattlin' in a Baptist church
Field hand hollers, slave ship collars
I'm carrying my brother's torch
When the lights go down
And my scales stop showin'
I'll smash my fingers down
On the only truth that's still worth knowin'
Play it, play it again, Sam
I want American music
Play it, play it again, Sam
I need American music
Play it, play it again, Sam
I want American music
Play it, play it again, Sam
I love American music
Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)
Whoa (whoa), whoa oh oh
When the lights go down
And my scales stop showin'
I'll smash my fingers down
On the only truth that's still worth knowin'
Play it, play it again, Sam
I want American music
Play it, play it again, Sam
I need American music
Play it, play it again, Sam
I want American music
Play it, play it again, Sam
I love American music
I love American music
I love American music
I love American music
