[00:00.00]The Real Thing - Pure Country Heroes
[00:15.46]I was on a bus comin' back to us
[00:18.82]From atlanta in '53
[00:22.46]And I picked up a rhythm
[00:24.29]And blues magazine
[00:26.17]Layin' underneath my seat
[00:29.55]And I found out the stuff
[00:31.18]They'd been playin' us
[00:32.91]Wasn't made from grits and bone
[00:36.70]And it would take more than the crew cuts
[00:40.06]And pat boone to take me home
[00:43.19]I want the real thing
[00:46.80]Give me the real thing
[00:51.02]Make it loud I'll make you proud
[00:53.57]Or the songs they'd sing
[00:57.23]I don't want you under
[00:58.84]My roof with your 86 proof
[01:01.91]Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
[01:05.32]You're gonna pull my string
[01:07.08]Make it the real thing for me
[01:19.90]I remember old elvis
[01:21.67]When he forgot to remember to forget
[01:26.92]And when young johnny cash
[01:28.40]Hadn't seen this side of big river yet
[01:33.96]And when sun was more than daylight shinin'
[01:37.84]On memphis tennessee
[01:41.57]And luther and lewis
[01:43.09]And perkins was pickin'
[01:44.87]And playin' them songs for me
[01:47.67]I want the real thing
[01:50.99]Give me the real thing
[01:55.51]Make it loud I'll make you proud
[01:58.16]Or the songs they'd sing
[02:01.77]I don't want you under
[02:03.54]My roof with your 86 proof
[02:06.22]Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
[02:09.78]You're gonna pull my string
[02:11.49]Make it the real thing for me
[02:45.02]I want the real thing
[02:48.34]Give me the real thing
[02:52.79]Make it loud I'll make you proud
[02:55.50]Or the songs they'd sing
[02:59.01]I don't want you under
[03:00.79]My roof with your 86 proof
[03:03.53]Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
[03:07.08]You're gonna pull my string
[03:08.68]Make it the real thing for me
[03:14.32]You're gonna pull my string
[03:15.87]Make it the real thing for me
