The Brian Setzer Orchestra lyrics

Written by brian setzer/jim phantom/lee rocker

What’s a man supposed to do
When the blues have got him down
What’s he gonna do
When the blues have got him down
You go down to the liquor store
And you drink your bottle down

Where you gonna run to
Or are you gonna hide
Where you gonna run to
With those blues right down inside
You got no place left to go

Written by bobby troup

Now if you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way take the highway that’s the best
Gets your kicks on route 66

It winds from chicago to la
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on route 66

It goes through st. louis
Joplin, missouri and
Oklahoma city
Lookin mighty pretty you’ll see amarillo, gallup, new mexico

Written by vince taylor

My baby drove up in a brand new cadillac
I said my baby drove up in a brand new cadillac
She said listen to me daddy, I ain’t never comin’ back

Baby baby won’t you hear my plea
C’mon sugar just hear my plea

She said balls to ya daddy
She ain’t comin back to me
Baby baby won’t you hear my plea
C’mon sugar just hear my plea

September skies
Funny how that memory
Never dies
And when that first leaf falls
Days turn cold, nights grow long
Like an old sinatra song
And every year right about this time
I wind up here wishing that winds of fate
Would bring you back to me
Beneath september skies

I should’ve known better

Written by merritt, lambert, setzer

Hey bartender
I got a lover but it’s not what it seems
Pour me a drink if you know what I mean
Don’t mix it up, gimme straight what you got
I don’t want it on the rocks I want my lovin straight up

Well my baby don’t love me hey don’t you see
Straight no chaser is alright by me

Written by brian setzer

Two hands reach for twelve at midnight
Clouds of smoke fill up the room
All the boys snap to attention
When lady luck walks into the room

She’s got diamonds on her fingers
And she smells like fine perfume
Everyone drops what they’re doin’
When lady luck walks into the room

I can’t rub two dimes together

Written by brian setzer

Never call when you’re out late
I don’t know when you’re comin’ home
Change your mind just like the weather
And I don’t know if I’m ever gonna

Break this ball and chain
And to you our love is just a little game
Now there’s a fine line between
Pleasure and pain
You love me like a ball and chain

When I called up information

Written by eric maschwitz/manning sherwin

That certain night
The night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the ritz
And a nightingale sang in berkeley square

I may be right I may be wrong
But I’m perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in berkeley square

The moon that lingered over london town
