lyrics

Fiddle Road
When I was a young man
I was walkin in the park
Evenin sky lit up with patriotic fireworks
I come upon ol’ Billy
Playin fiddle in the dark
I felt the bolt of lightnin
Fiddle hit it’s mark

Billy played the fiddle
He could really make it sing
You could hear him in the wee hours
Cuttin through most anything
He played it fast, he played it right
He walked down filddle road
And the first time that I saw him
I hoped that i would follow down the road
Fiddle road

I learned to fake a fiddle tune
By watchin Billy Spears
And it’s somethin that’s stayed with me
In spite of all the years
Just dance around the melody
The fiddle does the rest
When you’re keepin up with Billy Spears
You keep up with the best

Oh, Billy played the fiddle
He could really make it sing
You could hear him in the wee hours
Cuttin through most anything
He played it fast, he played it right
He walked down filddle road
And the first time that I saw him
I hoped that i would follow down the road
Fiddle road

It’s been a while since I seen Billy
Smokin on the strings
And i’m still feelin grateful
To that man for everything
And now I share the music
With a younger pickin crowd
And when Rachel hits the chorus

Billy played the fiddle
He could really make it sing
You could hear him in the wee hours
Cuttin through most anything
He played it fast, he played it right
He walked down filddle road
And the first time that I saw him
I hoped that i would follow down the road
Fiddle road
