Strange Place Testo

my pappy told me no man ever got rich playin' guitar i said what about eric clapton and bob seegar he said "i don't know who them fools are" then he gave me a banjo and finger picks taught me one tune and a couple of licks said "play it loud and play it quick sing it high like a stuck pig and son, you'll be rich" so that's what i did i remember my first roadhouse gig my name in lights 'mike west tonite no cover' that was the night that i discovered not everybody is a banjo lover i pulled out my axe and played my tune in five minutes flat i emptied the room 'bout then the barman said "son you better be done soon" i said sir if you pay me i'll stop anytime you want me to so that's what he did that's how it was every night if i played the banjo the club pulled the plug i was a shame on the name of earl scruggs but i always got paid my two hundred bucks then one night as i was slipping out the door a lady said "i love the banjo and i play the washboard" i knew then lord i would marry that girl so that's what i did now i twang the banjo and she bangs the board and together we make a joyous sound Lord and we take it from town to town and if one day we have a child i'll sit 'em down give 'em a banjo and fingerpicks teach 'em one song and a couple of licks say play it loud and play it quick sing it high like a stuck pig and you'll be rich you'll find joy in the strangest places tenderness in a stranger's embrace you'll find riches in the meanest lookin' face you'll find joy in strange places
