Lyrics:

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 travelin' around
But they won't play my record in my old hometown

But if I had saxophones
Yeah, big baritones cleanin' up the muddy breaks
If I had saxophones
I could get some recognition from that Mobile, Alabama DJ

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' something's still wrong
There's still somethin' missin' from them good old songs

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 DJ
