The Key To Life

In the style of

Vince Gill

Lyrics

i'd love to hear
my daddy play
once again
all the songs
that he taught me
when i was a kid

john henry
old shep
and faded love
i fall to pieces
and on the wings
of a dove

just a few chords
on the banjo
that was all he knew
but in the eyes
of a child
man his fingers flew

well i practiced
and i practiced
till i got it right
i packed up everything
and just took off
one night

well i made it
from the beer joints
to the opry stage

he said
the only difference
is what you're
gettin' paid

and he didn't care
that everybody
knew my name
he said
it's all for nothin'
if you don't
stay the same

and when he died
the preacher cried
said he's the lucky one
he's walkin'
hand in hand
with god's only son

my faith and
common sense
tell me
the preacher's right
but i'd love to hear
the banjo
ring for me tonight

and i will
honor my father
with these words
i write down
and as long
as i remember him
he'll always
be around

man the pain
of losin' him
cuts like
a randall knife
i learned
a few chords
on the banjo
was the key to life

yeah the pain
of losin' him
cuts like
a randall knife
i learned
a few chords
on the banjo
was the key to life
