Backstory:

This great song came about when Marghie Evans, Lorna Flowers, and I got together one day in January, 2005.  I think this one will be a real crowd pleaser, as it's hard to not to sway back and forth even when simply sitting down!

PLAY ME A SONG IN THREE-QUARTER TIME
©  M. Evans/L. Flowers/L. Medill

My buddies and me are the house band
Here in this smoky old bar
We do our best to play the requests
For tips people put in the jar

One night this guy walks up hands me twenty bucks
And says man can you slow things right down

(chorus)
Play me a song in three quarter time
I want to hold her and look in her eyes
So she can see I’m the right guy
Play me a song in three quarter time

He told me his baby was leaving
To take a new job in L.A.
She’s tired of this town there’s nothin’ around
She can’t think of a reason to stay

He said I never told her I loved her
But tonight that’s all gonna change

(chorus)
Play me a song in three quarter time
She needs to know how hard I’m tryin’
I want to show her I’m the right guy
Play me a song in three quarter time

(bridge)
The crowd started getting impatient 
He saw his girl on her way out
He turned back to me and said please mister please
You’ve got to count it in now

	(chorus)
Play me a song in three quarter time
I just need three minutes to change her mind
Then she’s gonna know I’m the right guy
Play me a song in three quarter time

Play me a song in three quarter time
