PLAY ME A SLOW SONG

The  joint was hopping all night long
the boss gave me a smile
He said, keep ‘em up, keep ‘em dancing,
throw in a rock song once in a while
We got ready to go back up, to start hour number three
A soldier came to the bandstand, ask to talk to me

Said man, I love your music and the band is really tight
But there’s a very special reason I came in here tonight
I know all your music and I got all your CD’s
And I’d really appreciate it, if you played a song for me

Chorus
Play me a slow song, so the words can sink in
Just your & your guitar, a little fiddle now and then
Play me a slow song, like “Sing Me Back Home”
Help bring back a memory,
before that memory is gone

See, I was here ‘bout a year ago with a buddy of mine
Next morning we left on deployment, it was his very first time
I’m back here for his funeral, got 72 hours on the ground
I came tonight to see you, to help his memory come back around

BRIDGE
You probably get in trouble, playing with just your guitar

I said don’t you worry son, I’ll deal with the guy behind the bar


2nd Chorus
I’ll play you a slow song, so the words can sink in
With just me and my guitar, and a little fiddle now and then
I’ll play you a slow song, like “Green Green Grass Of Home”
Try to help bring back a memory, before that memory is gone
