Lyrics
BANJO RINGIN’
Written by: Mark Brine
1. I woke up this mornin’ ... fell out’a bed
Banjo ringin’ in the back’a my head
My travellin’ shoes was’a clickin’ their heels
Tap-toe’d dancin’ ... out across the field
2. A southern wind ... with a cornbread whiffed
Closed m’ eyes ‘n I started t’ drift
Down the open road ... where m’ dreams had strayed
A thousand times ‘n I was on my way
Chorus:
So, ring out the banjo ‘n bring me home
I’ve been ... so long gone
Homesick kid on the highway gone
Banjo rinigin’ ringin’ ... I’m’a comin’ home
I pulled m’ britches ‘n suspenders up
Tucked in th’ ends ‘n swallowed a cup
Grabbed my pack ... swung it on m’ back
Hit the interstate ... wavin’ m’ hat
