Song Description

Playing Bluegrass music requires a musician to become a travelling weekend warrior. The pay often takes the form of complimentary barbeque and a free t-shirt.

Lyrics

Complementary Barbecue, preferred camping and a T-shirt too.
Drive to some lonesome altitude, revive my bluegrass attitude.
Play the first set Thursday night, no ones there but that?s alright
Dell and the boys play Saturday night, and someone?s gotta open the show.


I can?t help where I was born, New York ain?t Rosine.
But I can scam a backstage pass to any jamboree.

Chorus

I can play most Flatt and Scruggs songs, If you can sing the first line
I?ll play them fast or play them slow all at the same time.

Chorus

I stand next to those Silver Eagles, nearly all the time.
Maybe I?ll get a string endorsement, even though it?s not mine.
