It's A Banjo Playing

It's a breeze on a summer evening

It's a firefly on a July night

It's an old Chevy truck parked in the drive

It's a big oak tree, it's a love that's alive

It's a song stuck in your mind

It's a child learning nursery rhymes

It's a fiddler's foot on the kitchen floor

It's an old love song you never heard before

CHORUS

It's a freight train whistle in the night

Singing like a mournful dove

It's a boy leaving town without looking back

It's a banjo playing it's a girl I love

It's your momma calling on the phone

It's a dog run away come home

In the bottom of the ninth it's a big home run

It's the love we have, it's the morning sun
