Banjo Gave Reason

Banjo Gave reason Lyrics by Mack Hollowpoint Arrangement by M.H.B. Evening light moon just right And sometimes she runs deeper than I can go Six strings tried but never fit in Till the banjo laughed and let the river pull me in You skipped a stone and it danced just right I caught your smile in the silver light River kept laughing as it pulled us tight And the banjo found a rhythm that carried us through the night The guitar wasn’t worth the song But the banjo gave reason to sing along Dew shaking off the lily where the river runs strong With river clay on your boots you can’t help but dance along Current starts pulling like it’s ready to roar Banjo shakes the valley from the root to the floor Everything rises like it’s begging for the encore Until the whole damn river white caps and asks for more The guitar wasn’t worth the song But the banjo gave reason to sing along Dew shaking off the lily where the river runs strong With river clay on your boots you can’t help but dance along That old rickety dock becomes a stage Courage grows in the dark with a hint of desire But we wouldn’t call it a rave Yeah that ole guitar wasn’t worth a song But that banjo gave reason to sing along
