Solo Act

Words & Music by Brenda Layne

April night

Cold April winter

Your smile is the fire

I had a chance to warm by tonight

I’m surprised

So many men make me shiver

But you really took off the chill tonight

 

You are looking, you are sounding really good tonight

I wish you would play me a lot like that guitar

Strong and gentle, sentimental, perfect time and taste

But I’ve made my entrance, as usual, too late

To be part of a duet so it’s back

To my Solo Act

 

It’s not possible to separate the men from their guitars

They take the harmony with them when love’s arranged wrong

Dall and Steve have Martins, Chris and Tommy Fender Strats

We all made great music ‘til the romance went flat

Then it’s back to my Ovation and scat…Solo

 

These musicians love layin’ down my tracks

Until some new rhythm goes walkin’ past

Then they throw me back

To my Solo Act

 

You are looking, you are sounding really good tonight

I wish you’d play with me

Strong and gentle, sentimental, perfect time and taste

This could be trouble….
