I went to buy an old banjo, in the usa
To play it like my father did, back in '78
As I went through the instruction book, it was bluegrass all the way
And I thought it's the kind of music, that I wanna play
That's the kind of music, that I was looking for
I didn't even realized I was searching anymore
That high lonesome sound got stuck into my mind
For that's the kind of music that I was looking for
My daddy taught me guitar, when I was a little boy
And when I had that banjo, it filled my heart with joy
But then I tried a mandolin, in the east of Tennessee
And I knew that's the instrument I love, that's the one for me
I didn't sang that much before, I found these melodies
But what a joy to sing these songs, with my brother in harmony
Be it lead or tenor, makes me smile when I sing
That's right ! It's my kind of music, bluegrass is my thing
