Lyric Rhythm And Blues Alibi

<intro>

You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay the blame on the passers-by
You shake your body on the TV screen
It seems to me, you d try anything twice
And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me
Plain to see that I ll give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, there s nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice

Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old Son House in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But I ve got yours, and you ve got mine
It s a rhythm and blues alibi

<instrumental>

La la la la la la la la la la laaa..
You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all, cause you are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the TV screen
Seems to me, you d try anything twice
You d try anything twice
Well let me hear you now..

Chasing after stories that have already been told,
Couldn t I look old sunhouse in the eyes,
I know where you carry such a fragile load,
And I ve got yours, you ve got mine
It s a rhythm and blues alibi
La la la la la etc.
