The Real Thing

In the style of

George Strait

Lyrics

i was on a bus
comin' back to us
from atlanta in '53

and i picked up
a rhythm and blues
magazine layin'
underneath my seat

and i found out
the stuff
they'd been playin' us
wasn't made for
grits and bone

and it would
take more than
the crew cuts
and pat boone
to take me home

i want the real thing
give me the real thing
make it loud
make you proud
of the songs
they'd sing

i don't want you
under my roof
with your
eighty-six proof
watered-down
till it tastes like tea

you're gonna
pull my string
make it the real thing
for me

i remember old elvis
when he forgot to
remember to forget

and when
young johnny cash
hadn't seen
this side of
big river yet

and when sun
was more than
daylight shinin' on
memphis tennessee

and luther
and lewis
and perkins
was a-pickin'
and a-playin'
them songs for me

i want the real thing
give me the real thing
make it loud
make you proud
of the songs
they'd sing

i don't want you
under my roof
with your
eighty-six proof
watered-down
till it tastes like tea

you're gonna
pull my string
make it the real thing
for me

i want the real thing
give me the real thing

make it loud
i'll make you proud
of the songs
they'd sing

i don't want you
under my roof
with your
eighty-six proof
watered-down
till it tastes like tea

you're gonna
pull my string
make it the real thing
for me

you're gonna
pull my string
make it the real thing
for me
