Begging in the club in a backwater town
Laying down a lick or two and puttin’ it down
Play so fast, and he plays so clean
He plays so vicious he can make you mean
Got strings nylon-wound, no big thing
He could pick a chicken wire and make it sing
Detroit Jones
Faster than sin
Detroit Jones
Don’t fit in
Detroit Jones
Your home ain’t in the south
Gonna find a local picker
Put him in the band
Detroit Jones
Detroit Jones
Oh Detroit Jones
The clothes you wear
Long black hair
The way you bend them strings
Well it ain’t nothing personal
All the things that you might say
You’re a wild man with your heavy-drinking ways
Local institution had a meeting yesterday
Said we’d like to see a clean-cut, home-grown boy pick Saturday
You’re slick as greased glass
And you grin and stomp
You’re quicker than a fox-fire in a swamp
Detroit Jones
You’re faster than sin
Detroit Jones
You don’t fit in
Detroit Jones
Your home ain’t in the south
We’re gonna find a local picker
Put him in the band
Detroit Jones
Detroit Jones
Oh Detroit Jones
The clothes you wear
Long black hair
The way you bend them strings
Well up stepped a boy
He’d been picking quite a while
Knew DJ’s licks and he had his own style
They faced each other on the stand with a grin
The kid hit sixteen like a wildcat coming in
Well Big D laughed and with a sigh
His hands burnt a trail like strings on fire
He bent and twisted and paralysed
He hypnotised and mesmerised
And buddy, I’ll leave the answer up to you
Detroit Jones
Faster than sin
Detroit Jones
You don’t fit in
Detroit Jones
Your home ain’t in the south
We’re gonna find a local picker
Put him in the band
Detroit Jones
Detroit Jones
Oh Detroit Jones
The clothes you wear
Long black hair
The way you bend them strings
Detroit Jones
Faster than sin
Detroit Jones
You don’t fit in
Detroit Jones
Your home ain’t in the south
We’re gonna find a local picker
Put him in the band
Detroit Jones
Oh Detroit Jones
The clothes you wear
Long black hair
The way you bend them strings
