Mama's arms used to hold me How it helped when I went wrong The other women in my life Helped me sing the hurtin' song This old piano is my best friend The old stage is my home Ya' think I've got it made, friend? Well let me show you where you're wrong Change places with me Just let me sit at your table I'll pretend that I'm you Then I can do the things That you so freely do Pretend that you're me And sing 'em all them old sad songs You stand accused Let the world look at you Change places with me Ya gotta play that old piano Sing the songs they want to hear At first it won't come easy I've been doing it for years Ya gotta sing them songs with feelin', son After all the feeling's gone Ya think I've got it made friend Well, let me show you where you're wrong Change places with me Just let me sit at your table I'll pretend that I'm a-you Then I can do the things That you so freely do Pretend that you're me Sing them old sad songs Brother, you stand accused Let the world look at you Change places with me Hey, brother you stand accused Let the world look at you Change places with me.
