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 Tho 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 Alabama 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 baritone, cleaning up the muddy breaks If we had saxophone I could get some recognition from That Mobile Alabama DJ
