From the recording Montgomery Blues

Lyrics

MONTGOMERY BLUES
Words and Music by John Cannon
 
 
I don’t want to hear no message music.
No I don’t want to hear no message music.
‘Cause when I’m with my baby, I want to be alone.
I don’t want to hear somebody singin’ what’s right or wrong
Oh no, I just like to hear, I just like to hear
Some music that will make me feel at home
 
Now I like to hear beer drinkin’ music.
And whiskey drinkin’ music suits me fine.
When I’m out a drinkin’, I like to shoot some pool.
I don’t need someone singin’ that the world and me’s a fool
Oh no, I just like to hear, I just like to hear
Some music that will make me feel at home
 
Now some folks get their kicks form drivin’ fast cars.
And some folks think it’s great to start a brawl.
Will I like to drive fast cars, but I do not like to fight.
I just like to have a good time, when the music’s right
Oh yes, yeah, I just like to hear, I just like to hear
Some music that will make me feel at home
 
 
 
 
 
Now my home town is famous for its drinkin’.
And my home town is a town who likes to pray.
“Dear God please stop this hangover!”
In more than fifty years, I’ve never seen them change
They all think I’m different, but I’m really still the same
Oh yes, yeah, I just like to hear, I just like to hear
I said I just like to hear,
Some music that will make me feel at home.
