Saxophones (New Recording) Lyrics

I cut my teeth on gumbo rock
Benny Spellman and Doctor John
Sweet Irma Thomas and Frog man Henry
Used to boogie woogie all night long
Though I love rock and roll, the acoustic guitar
Was the only way I had of becoming a star
I'm doing rather nice and traveling around
But they won't play my record in my ol' hometown

If I had saxophones
Yeah, big baritones 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 downtown
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
But if we had saxophones
Big baritones cleaning up the muddy breaks
If we had saxophones
I could make that joint shimmy
Like a big California earthquake

Yeah, if we had saxophones
Big baritones cleaning up the muddy breaks
If we had saxophones
I could get some recognition
From that Mobile Alabama DJ
