Lyrics
I could chase you, maybe I'd catch you
Or I could learn to play the banjo
I could try, to find love in your eyes
I think it's there but I want to learn the banjo
And the music takes me where my heart wants to go
Places that I've never known
And I could try
To convince you tonight
Or I could learn, I could learn the banjo
I met a lady, she said maybe
If you learn to play the mandolin
I picked it up, and I started to strum
And that lady she let me in.
And the music takes him where his heart wants to go
Places that he's never known
And that lady
She's long gone by now
But he's still playing, he's still playing the mandolin
And the music takes us where our hearts want to go
Places that we've never known
And I could try
To convince you tonight
Or I could learn, I could learn the banjo
