Vince Gill - The Key To Life Lyrics
Id love to hear my daddy play once againAll the songs that he taught me when I was a kidJohn henry, ol shep and faded loveI fall to pieces and on the wings of a doveJust a few chords on the banjo that was all he knewBut in the eyes of a child, man his fingers flewI practiced and I practiced til I got it rightPacked up everything and just took off one nightI made it from the beer joints to the opry stageHe said the only difference is what youre gettin paidHe didnt care that everybody knew my nameHe said its all for nothin if you dont stay the sameBut when he died the preacher cried and said hes the lucky oneHes walkin hand in hand in hand with gods only sonMy faith and common sense tell me the preachers rightBut Id love to hear the banjo ring for me tonightAnd I will honor my father with these words I write downAs long as I remember him hell always be aroundAnd the pain of losin him cuts like a randall knifeI learned a few chords on the banjo as the key to lifeAnd the pain of losin him cuts like a randall knifeI learned a few chords on the banjo as the key to life
