Blame
it on the Banjos
Banjo
from the mountains
banjo
from the city
make
a big racket
but
they sure sound pretty !
Tater
bug mando's – and fiddles so bold
hollers
and yells – ancient riddles re-told
ballads
of truth - and stories of old
all
riches greater than any silver or gold

Honky
Tonks 'n Saturday Nights
Honky
Tonk brawls 'n Saturday Nights
go
to church Sunday – to set things right
Your
good suit on – as you go to meetin'
'cause
the tonk makes you foolish
But
the church gives it meaning !
you
end scuffed up
and
just a little heart-broke
all
your dough has gone up
in
the proverbial smoke
one
step forward – 2 steps back - bit ...
… by
that “black dog” freight
train
- coming at you ...
… down
the same ol' tracks

Motoring
The
blustery and windy road
short
and winding along it's way
the powerful smell of new mown hay
the
pungent aroma of orange
blossoms so fragrant and special
blossoms so fragrant and special
and
vistas unfolding all along the way
chorus
Motoring
Motoring
Flying
in the wind
Motoring
Motoring
Driving
in the rain
Motoring
Motoring
Rubber
wheels rolling on
take
me from here
and
let me - roll me - and move me - on down the line
