Back Porch Band

Well I love the sound of a fiddle string
In the hands of a man who can make it sing
Playin' that melody clear and sweet
It'll touch your heart and tickle your feet

And when I hear that mandolin
It's like the voice of a good ol' friend
Takes me back to a simpler day
Makes my troubles melt away

Whoa let's get started
Who knows when we'll be parted
No time to be down-hearted on this night
Let's play some good ol' music
My heart sure could use it
Live it up a little while we can
Playin' in a back porch bluegrass band

Well I know a man who plays the bass
With a big ol' grin on his face
'Cause every note so deep and low
Strikes a chord in his soul

And when I've had all I can bear
Of a life that isn't always fair
Nothin' sets my soul at ease
Like that high mountain harmony

(chorus)

And when it's late
When the night has fallen we can play
With the katydids callin'
And we'll know
Long after we're gone
They'll keep up the song

(chorus)
