Banjo Canto

Lyrics

[INTRO]
Well, gather ‘round y’all, let me tell you a tale,
Of a man named Perry, on a Mississippi trail,
With a heart full of dreams and a soul made of gold,
In the land of the cotton, his story unfolds.

[VERSE 1]
He wakes with the sun, laces up his boots,
In his old faded jeans and a wide-brimmed hat,
At the crack of dawn, it's time to get started,
With the rooster's crow, ain't no time for slack.
He rides through the fields on his old tractor,
Beneath the southern sky, where the blues sing louder,
With a fishing pole and a six-pack in tow,
Perry’s livin’ life simple, man, that’s how it goes.

[CHORUS]
Oh Perry, oh Perry, in the heart of the South,
Singing sweet country tunes with the joy in his mouth,
With a heart full of kindness and a touch of the wild,
He’s a Mississippi dreamer, a true country child.

[VERSE 2]
When the sun dips low, and the fireflies flare,
He’s at the ol' diner, laughter fills the air,
With his buddies, they’re swapping those stories and lies,
Over biscuits and gravy, and sweet tea on the side.
He drives down the backroads, singin’ to the night,
With the windows rolled down, everything feels right,
Underneath the stars, he finds that sweet grace,
Perry’s heart beats true, in this familiar place.

[CHORUS]
Oh Perry, oh Perry, in the heart of the South,
Singing sweet country tunes with the joy in his mouth,
With a heart full of kindness and a touch of the wild,
He’s a Mississippi dreamer, a true country child.

[BRIDGE]
And when the storms roll in, and the thunder’s loud,
He finds his strength in the whispers of the crowd,
With lightning in his soul and love in his hands,
Perry stands strong, he’s made for this land.

[VERSE 3]
Now it's Sunday morning, and the church bells ring,
With his family all gathered, to hear the choir sing,
With a heart full of faith, and hope shining bright
