Saxophones
 1974
 I cut my teeth on Gumbo rock, Benny Stillman and Dr. John
 Sweet Erma Thomas and Frogman Henry
 Used to boogie woogie all night long
 Though I love rock n' roll the acoustic guitar
 Was the only way I had of becomin' a star
 I'm doin' really nice and travellin' around
 But they won't play my record in my old home town
 But if I had saxophones
 Yeah, big baritone cleanin' up the muddy breaks
 If I had saxophones
 I could get some recognition from that Mobile, Alabama D.J.
 Livin' by the ocean, sometimes I get the notion
 To take my Janey downtown
 We hang out in a funky little bar
 They call it the "Shipwreck Lounge"
 Well we get kind of drunk and we play rock n' roll
 Grabbin' everybody right down in his soul
 When we get to cookin' somethin's still wrong
 There's still somethin' missin' from them good ole songs
 But if we had saxophones
 Big baritone cleanin' up the muddy breaks
 If we had saxophones
 I could make that joint shimmy like a big California earthquake
 Yeah if we had saxophones
 Yeah, big baritone cleanin' up the muddy breaks
 If we had saxophones
 I could get some recognition from that Mobile, Alabama D.J.
