Don't You Throw That Mojo on Me (Live)

[Intro]

Ray Benson Asleep At the Wheel got my name from the song "Route 66"

Flagstaff, Arizona

Don't forget Winona

And uh, don't forget Wynonna

So mom and I traveled, um, when I was a teenager to Austin, Texas

And we got to hang out with uh, Asleep At the Wheel as well as the fabulous Thunderbirds

And I actually got to sit and watch Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan play guitar

And it was then, that I was hooked on the blues and uh

Yeah, I like it funky too

This is about somebody tryna put the mojo on you

I call it that when people try to categorize me or tell me who I am

Don't you put that mojo on me, you hear me?

Don't look at me with that tone of voice

[Verse 1]

Wеll, you go where you want to

Go out on the town

Expеct to keep me waitin'

With that law you're layin' down

That ain't right

Tonight I'm breaking free, yes, I am

I ain't gonna work no more

Don't you throw that mojo on me

[Verse 2]

You got some magic

I'll give you that

It just ain't worth it

I ain't going back no more

Under your lock and your key

Haha, I know that look

Don't you throw that mojo on me

Ah

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]

Oh

This is Randy Flowers, girls

Ain't he cute?

[Verse 3]

You ain't gonna be my hangman

I ain't gonna wear no noose

Well, I got somethin' here now, baby

I'll be turnin' loose

You ain't the only one, ha

I've got some tricks up my sleeve, yes, indeed

Well, it might come back to haunt you

Don't you throw that mojo on me

Yeah, it might come back to haunt you

Don't you throw that mojo on me

[Outro]

That's right

I'm gonna start singing more of the blues

So, as the story goes

I decided on this tour, after twenty years, I mean, you wake up one day and you realize I'm okay

I'm okay

It's time to, uh, celebrate what I am

Instead of worrying about what I'm not

And it's not in arrogance, it's confidence from nothing that, uh

When you turn forty, tonight I'm thirty-ten

You have the right, so I wanna rock
