Play me that song
That my mother used to play
Play me that song
From when my father knew his name
It's the same song I heard
On the radio that fateful day
So play me that song
That my mother used to play
The world don't make no sense to me no more
Cause when I look outside all I see's a state at war
I move my legs down to the liquor store
But when I peer inside it's the same faces as before
Am I losing my mind
Are my eyes going blind
To the world around me at large
Am I lost instead
Are they better off there
Than sitting alone at the bar
So play me that song
That my mother used to play
Play me that song
That my mother used to play
Play me that song
That my mother used to play
Play me that song
That my mother used to play
Play me that song
That my mother used to play
Play me that song
That my mother used to play
Play me that song
That my mother used to play
Play me that song
That my mother used to play
Play me that song
That my mother used to play
