GREW UP ON VINYL

I was struck by Lightnin'

B. B. King, too

Everybody wants to know

Why I sing the blues

There was Carlos Santana

Greg and Duane were cool

Jimi Hendrix led me

Straight to the blues


(Chorus) 'Cuz I grew up on vinyl

Replaced them with CDs

Said Sonnyboy and Little Walter

were Superman to me


You ask me why I sing the blues

It seems I just can't win

The music I grew up with

I shouldn't play in this skin

There are players in Spain

All the way to Tokyo

Paying tribute to the elders 

And man those folks can blow


(Chorus) 'Cuz they grew up on vinyl

Replaced them with CDs

Said Sonnyboy and Little Walter

were Superman to me

(Spoken) Superma-a-a-n . . .

Some cats played football

Race cars and like to fight

I just listen to my records

All day through the night

We didn't have no MTV

Or DVD or DAT

But I had my ol' phonograph

It sure was good like that

(chorus) 'Cuz I grew up on vinyl

Replaced them with CDs

Said Sonnyboy and Little Walter

Were Superman to me

(Spoken) Superman . . .Superman . . .

Sonnyboy . . .

Leap tall buildings with a single note

More powerful than a locomotive

Rice Miller

John Lee Williamson

Big Walter

Little Walter . . . 

Superman . . .Superman
