I've watched the different music come and go
And I have played a little rock and roll
And I've sung the blues and bluegrass, and I've tried most everything
But if I had my druthers, then I'd rather have some swing

Gimme a steel guitar and two or three fiddles
And a Texas rhythm section that can swing
I'd like a big dance hall, with a lot of happy people
And then turn me loose and let me sing

Glenn Miller's "In the Mood" still turns me on
Like Bob Wills and the "Rose of San Antone"
They both played great music, they just called it different names
But if you put it all together, it would still come out the same

Gimme a steel guitar and two or three fiddles
And some horn-men that can play most anything
I'd like a big dance hall, with a lot of happy people
And then turn me loose and let me sing

Gimme a steel guitar and two or three fiddles
And some horn-men that can play most anything
Gimme a big dance hall, with a lot of happy people
And then turn me loose and let me sing
