Lyrics
[Long Intermission]
(Verse 1)
In the hills of Kentucky, where the moonshine flows,
Livin' hard and fast, that's the life I chose.
With a banjo on my knee and a fiddle in my hand,
I'm a wild-hearted rambler, roamin' this land.
(Chorus)
Oh, I'm a bluegrass man, with a rough and rowdy soul,
Pickin' strings and singin', where the whiskey rivers roll.
Through the valleys and the hollers, under the moon's soft light,
Livin' for the music, and the long Appalachian night.
(Verse 2)
Daddy was a miner, worked his fingers to the bone,
Mama raised eight children in a cabin made of stone.
We'd gather on the porch when the day's work was done,
Playin' songs of sorrow, joy, and havin' fun.
(Chorus)[Two singing]
Oh, I'm a bluegrass man, with a rough and rowdy soul,
Pickin' strings and singin', where the whiskey rivers roll.
Through the valleys and the hollers, under the moon's soft light,
Livin' for the music, and the long Appalachian night.
(Bridge)
Got a girl in every town, but my heart's a ramblin' wheel,
Can't settle down, no matter how I feel.
With the wind as my companion and the stars my guide,
I'm a restless spirit, runnin' wild and free inside.
[Long solo]
(Verse 3)[Womens in the background singing]
Storm's a-comin', you can feel it in the air,
But the music keeps on playin', without a single care.
We'll dance around the fire, till the break of dawn,
Singin' rough bluegrass tunes, till the night is gone.
(Chorus)
Oh, I'm a bluegrass man, with a rough and rowdy soul,
Pickin' strings and singin', where the whiskey rivers roll.
Through the valleys and the hollers, under the moon's soft light,
Livin' for the music, and the long Appalachian night.
(Outro)
So here's to the mountains, the life I understand,
With a banjo and a fiddle, I'm a bluegrass man.
Through the trials and the troubles, I’ll keep playin' strong,
For in the heart of bluegrass, is where I belong.
[Instrumental outro]
