Lyrics
I married him despite the fact
He?s got another love.
And though I?ll never leave him
Sometimes I?m jealous of
The reason he is out again leaving me behind
My baby?s got a 24 Track Mind
It?d be another woman
With many other men
But baby digs the feeling
Of mixin? swingin? bands
At times I get so lonesome
Outta my mind when he?s outta sight
My baby?s got a 24 track mind
It?s one o clock, two o?clock, three o?clock then four
My baby?s got me wonderin when he?ll be walkin? through that door
At six o?clock I?ve given up to rest my weary head
Seven AM he stumbles in and falls straight into bed
Solo
Bridge
The answer to my problem
Came to me one night
As I sat up waiting for him
I began to write
I rounded up some players
The best that I could find
Cause, my baby?s got a 24 track mind
One night he came home early
And caught me in a jam
The guys and I were smokin?
Swappin riffs and singin man
Now nights are never lonesome
I?m booking up studio time
My baby?s got a 24 track mind
Girls don?t bother cookin dinner
Or waiting up all night
If you find yourselves a winner
Don?t be holdin? on too tight
Just find yourselves a hobby
Meant to shorten the evening grind
If your baby?s got a 24 track mind
