Banjo Man

[00:09.86] Give me a song I know
[00:12.31] Something I can relate to
[00:14.44] The people never criticize the way I play
[00:19.62] Show me the way to go
[00:21.97] I need to make a breakthrough
[00:24.41] I don't think that I can wait another day
[00:28.49]
[00:38.85] It's putting years on me
[00:41.28] I'm a young man going gray
[00:43.73] I don't believe that I can wait another day
[00:51.69] This simple melody is all I have
[00:56.85] I make my living that way
[01:01.46] I make good friends that way, oh-oh
[01:08.31] I really can make no sense of it
[01:10.58] As hard as I try
[01:12.97] Is it something I do wrong?
[01:14.89] Please, won't you tell me why?
[01:17.81] The people all seem to like it
[01:20.51] And no one knows about it more than I
[01:27.72] I met a man today
[01:30.19] Who walked in my direction
[01:32.56] Stopped, took off his hat
[01:34.32] And lit a cigarette
[01:37.53] He listened carefully
[01:40.05] To what I had been playing
[01:42.40] He threw a coin into my hat
[01:44.91] And walked away
[01:47.44] Always play just what they want me to
[01:53.00] Everybody wants the same song
[01:56.94] If only I could do it in my own way
[02:05.32] I'd feel such emotion, emotion, ooh
[02:16.38] Emotion, emotion, oh-oh
[02:22.63]
[02:28.31] Say give me a song I know
[02:31.23] Something I can relate to
[02:33.62] And no one wants to criticize the way I play
[02:38.53] I should just say no
[02:40.81] And play them what I want to
[02:43.54] 'Cause I don't think that I can wait another day
[02:47.86]
[02:58.28] It's putting years on me
[03:00.30] I'm a young man going gray
[03:03.08] I don't believe that I can wait another day
[03:10.88] This simple melody is all I have
[03:15.75] I make my living that way
[03:20.44] I make good friends that way
[03:25.99] They feel my emotion, emotion, oh-oh, oh-oh
[03:37.14] Emotion, emotion, oh-oh
[03:43.81]
