Lyrics

Music In The Mountains
@Rick Lang/Troy Engle 
V1
Daddy’s on the front porch, banjo in his hands 
Playing a tune his granddad use to sing
That old familiar sound makes ‘em gather round 
And dance while that old banjo rings 
Chorus 
There’s music in the mountains flowing like a fountain 
Ringing in the valley down below 
So gather all around to hear that sweet sound 
That lifts you up and soothes your weary soul 
V2
Those mountain melodies speak to you and me 
Like it did to our kin folk way back then
All the hard times they saw didn’t bother them at all 
Mountain music made them smile again
V3
When you’re laying there at night, stars shining bright 
Trees are still humming a tune 
Comes from those hills, know it always will
Like the light of that old Kentucky moon
