Mr. Please!

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
In the cities and the counties of this land abound with plenty, far away from home The old men take their suppers in the bar rooms and the buffets, their pipe dreams gone Sitting at the half-washed tables, flirting with the half-cute waitress with the tattooed arms It's nine o'clock, and just an hour to knock off till the music brings it on Mr. Please! Play that good time country song, and let me tap my foot along To your singing and your sanity Let your rhythm numb my brain, and your lyrics ease the pain That slithers sad and slow and rots the soul inside me Now John, he's down from Dallas, where he left amidst the malice of some years behind He was drilling oil to feed his boys, and bring his darling roses every Friday night But when his lovely Josie started cozying up with Ed Posey, John took flight Now he's playing cards in Austin, hoping that some guy named Watson blows his mind Mr. Please! Play that good time country song, and let me tap my foot along To your singing and your sanity Let your rhythm numb my brain, and your lyrics ease the pain That slithers sad and slow and rots the soul inside me On a lonesome Texas highway, driven by a heartache mighty as the midday sun There ain't no consolation for the empty desolation of a love undone But when those scattered pieces whisper ghostly secrets, bleeding on that little Little bit of piece you've won That f.m. station best not play no declaration aimed at Washington Mr. Please! Play that good time country song, and let me tap my foot along To your singing and your sanity Let your rhythm numb my brain, and those lyrics ease the pain That slithers sad and slow and rots the soul inside me
