There Was Music Played: Banjo
There was music played, and the sound it was made of the late night celebration.
Songs were sung by one and everyone, and we danced along through the night.
In that old dive bar, a back porch and stars, a meadow lit up by the moon,
Stories and songs, were shared all night long, always we go home too soon.
When you’re next to a friend, the good time won’t end,
Watch the sun come up through the trees,
One by one everybody will move on, like a bird gone upon the breeze.
