That's What I Want To Hear
I usually not sure where things fit in the genre box. It's often more about marketing than the music. If you have any ideas, let me know. Thanks for listening, JW
Country lyrics with blues guitar and a rock backbone.
Story behind the song
Originally about a struggling musician, we kicked it around on JPF and it got turned around to be about a listener. Have to thank my friends there for their input.
Lyrics
That's What I Want To Hear
key: D MM=92
Vs
Weekend came my work was done
I went out to have some fun
Kick on back with anyone
Hangin' at the bar
I perched myself up on a stool
Pretended I was lookin' cool
The spotlight shone on some dumb fool
Playin' lame guitar
PC
I walked right up to the stage
Said buddy what's the deal
The only way to earn your pay
Man you got to play for real
Ch.
So gimme the right words and a cool beat
Make that guitar sound so sweet
Set the night's mood with a hot groove
And a funky bass line poundin' in my ears
That's what I want to hear.
Vs
I moved on to another spot
Where I had heard the music's hot
Figured why not take a shot
I walked in through the door
Singer sounded really sad
Drummer's beat was worse than bad
Keep your day job, live with dad
Don't hurt my ears no more
PC
But I grabbed a napkin, in the dim light
Wrote down my request
Last chance, play this one song just right
If you do, you pass the test
Put the right words to a cool beat
Make that guitar sound so sweet
Set the night's mood with a hot groove
And a funky bass line poundin' in my ears
That's what I want to hear.
Br
I walked on in the night time chill
To a tiny joint right up the hill
On a corner stage sat Blue note Bill
The way he sang em gave us all (the crowd) (my soul) a thrill
Ch
'Cause he put the right words with a cool beat
'n made his guitar sound so sweet
Set the night's mood with a hot groove
Got a funky bass line poundin' in my ears.
Ch
Right words, cool beat
Oh that guitar sounds so sweet
Night mood, tight groove
Funky bass line poundin' in my ears
That's what I want to hear.
gtrs
I wanna hear the right words
And a cool beat
With a hot groove
Make that guitar sound so sweet
