Lyrics:

would get me anywhere but here

Now Etta James, hit that symphony
'Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
And for most of my sad life I
Waiting for the birds to call
I don't wanna go back
Baby, can we please stay
We got love like Etta James
We got love like Etta James
Maybe for the moment
We
Thing) James Brown, Billie Holiday)
(Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Louis Armstrong)
(Minnie Riperton, Otis Redding, Etta James)

Back in the day, they
jungle
Put me straight in a hurricane
She hypnotized my eyes with her silver heeled ways
If I could sing like Paul McCartney, get funky like Etta James
What's your ETA Etta James
Know I like it when you call my name
If you feeling kinda like the same
Pull up on me I'll open the gate
What's your ETA
to another time
When the originators, innovators were alive, yeah

Here we say now
So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James
Your Lady Day, and Coltrane
a getaway

I'm like that old Etta James
But you won't find out what I need
I'm like that Marvin Gay
But there might be a distance too great
Oh-oh, oh oh oh,
deserve the big stage
Headline to be the great
Etta James was proud to say
She's not about the fame
Keep your mind in the right frame
Etta James would be
Trust in me no Etta James
Let me be your melody
We can party all night
Go until the sunrise
We gone have to walk home
Too much of a good time
Don't you
[chorus]
Her name was Mary Jane,
She sang, like Etta James,
She came and went to easily.
And it's strange, how times are changed,
I seen Mary
the Radio on
Let Etta James and Sarah Vaughan
Serenade me to the dawn
.... with their standards

Turn the Radio on
Let Gladys Knight and Sweet Dionne 
Cradle
Her name was Mary Jane
She sang, like Etta James
She came and went to easily
And it's strange, how times are changed
I seen Mary yesterday,
bitch is blowing like etta James
Its money bound baby
We strapped like the navy
You reach for this sauce
And get popped bout this gravy
I'm straight out
a lighthouse
Make some diamonds bright now
Think that Imma shine now
At last it's my time like Etta James, this what the grind 'bout

Oh oh oh oh oh, we live by
there
Love insurance?
Some one to
Bring flowers and play
Chat pack for hours
Share a meal
And laugh with
To slow dance with
To Etta James'
"At Last" with

Red flowers swaying on the white curtains,
Blowing in the kitchen window
New Orleans in the summertime,
Etta James singing on the radio

Playing Chess with the judge

And I can only pull the strings
If it's ye long

Hey mama as I wonder if you're right about his past 
Etta James rings through memories
He's failed me at last
Hey mama as I wonder if you're right
to the government

( chorus )
It's criminal smooth
It's criminal smooth
Playing Chess with the judge
ETTA JAMES on
And I can only pull the strings
If it's ye long
a weapon you know the rule
Etta James, Etta James
I'm falling in love in a white moon
We're falling in love in our big dreams

(And I say)
Are you ready for
There's no motown without focus
There's no motown without focus

Billie Holiday, Etta James, I wrote this
To remember all their names, Ella

Play Etta James, too, play "I'd Rather Go Blind"
Play it for the man with the telepathic mind
Play John Lee Hooker, play "Scratch My Back"

Eisenhower status Etta James on the dash
John Coltrane cruising in the Cadillac
Seville, feel my
