I Don't Run

Seen a bunch of run down no horse towns
Where the church is the backbone and love's in the plow
And that 5 string melody's groovin

With the farmland rows where the roots run deep
Beyond the noise and the busy streets
Where the songs of the south are soothing
When I hear that front porch pickin down home rhythm ringing out
I don't run from banjo music

The sound of a memory brings me back
To that bluegrass playing on my dad's 8 track
His pickup man it'd been through it

Getting through the day on Scruggs and Skaggs
Bucking hay bales to those Tennessee jams
There's no other way that I'd do it
When I hear that front porch pickin down home rhythm ringing out
I don't run from banjo music

Some may call it backwards back woods in double time
Can't hear the soul in that tremolo Kentucky style
These are the anthems strumming out country boy livin
When I hear that front porch pickin down home rhythm ringing out
I don't run from banjo music

The pace of the city life drives me wild
The only tune is the cars rushing by
With the bass on their stereos blooming
But when I hear that front porch pickin down home rhythm ringing out I don't run from banjo music
