Song Information:

This is a song I originally wrote and recorded in 1993. It's kind of the musicians lament sort of and it was fun writing the lyric. Originally it was done as more of a Country song, but I've redone it and added a little bit of Funk to it.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making the new version.

Thanks for listening.

Song Lyrics:

Lord, Lord, Lord, Give Me A Break
Words, Music and Arrangement By Edward C. Wemmerus Sr.

Verse 1
Standin' on the bandstand tryin' to sing a funky song
When this ugly guy comes up to me and grabs my microphone
Sayin', Hey there Mr. Guitar Man, can I sing along.
There ain't nothin' I like better than to sing a funky song

Chorus
I Said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Give me a break ,
Yes there is a limit, to how much I can take
I don't have the inclination, --- To accept your invitation
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, give me a break,
There's a limit to how much I can take

Verse 2
Talkin' to my manager, told him to get real
He said, you know you can trust me Son, this is quite a deal
Despite his reassurances, I got a different feel
cause the contract that he handed me gave him the right to steal

Chorus

Instrumental Bridge ( 1 verse and chorus )

Verse 3
Talkin' to my Congressman, after he had won
To ask about his promises, and what he said was, Son
If you could make a contribution to my private fund
Maybe we can find a way, to see that it gets done

Chorus

I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, give me a break,
There's a limit to how much I can take
There's a limit to how much I can take
