Lyrics

For Rene'
Music and Lyrics by LC Wells (c)

Hey John, you know what song René doesn't like?

There was a song where they went and used your name
It was an old-time song when they said
just walk away
You'd change the station when it comes on the radio

You'd rather hear some blues or some funky old soul
Now you don't like singers who whine like girls
No matter what they're trying to say

And you don't like songs that bore you
Half to death when they're just singing
Old clichés

Chorus

Oh yeah
I won't write like that
I won't sing that crap
No matter what people say

Oh yeah
I know that you're no fool
You always know what you're gonna do
So I better write a real good song
For René

I know you wonder why it's still
on the radio
Why can't it be one of those songs
that come and go?

It drives you crazy
When it's stuck inside your head
Why can't it be Muddy Waters or Tampa Red

Now the world is filled
with songs that don't
Say a thing
It seems to be the modern rage
And those who sing songs
About silly things
Are all we have
These days

Chorus
