THE SOUNDS OF NIRIH

"THEY WANT TO HEAR COUNTRY MUSIC"

Ah, well its late at night and the crowds all right
Dancing up a storm on the floor.
They ask me can I play a little Country Music
Waylin and a' Willie once more.

And I don't know how to tell them I'm a City Gal
I get my kicks on Bach and Chopin.
So I play the country shuffle on my guitar,
Doin' the best that I can.

And if Hank and Charlie, Waylin and Willie don't mind
I've got to sing some other songs from time to time
There's lots of other music I could play on a dime
And a little change of pace will make you feel so fine.

Dolly Parton's singin' from Nine to Five
Kenny met a Gamblin' Man
Willie wants to travel On The Road Again
Pickin' and a-grinnin' with his band

But there's Neil Diamond, Barbra Steisand, Manilow too
I love the way that Ella sings the blues.
So if you want a little country music, that's all right, but
You gotta hear the other too, oh yeah.
