Good morning drive time.
Well, [B] relatively brand new.
[B] That's an old song that's been around, goodness [E] gracious, I couldn't begin to tell you [F] how long.
But it became a standard and a [B] favorite of a lot of folks who [F#] are in [E] groups, [B] quartets, whatever.
But [F] it's a great, great old song [G#m] that I have always loved.
[B] I love the way Mike [E] sings this.
For me, [F#] I take a trip down [G#m] memory lane just listening to the [B] words to so many memories [C#m] I have.
[F#] [E]
[G#m] And as we go through the song, I'm sure that [B] you'll recall [E] some memories that you have.
For me, [G#] I think of my dad and all [E] the a cappella, the love for gospel [F#] music.
He passed along to me and [B] watching him sing as he sang with the a [F] cappella quartet.
[E] They've been all my childhood.
[B] I [F#] always think about Bill Monroe because [E] he's the reason I used to play bluegrass.
I [B] heard him on the Grand Ole Opry.
What I [E] wanted to do, I was about five years old.
[G#m]
[B] My first boss and me, I was [E] 14 years old.
They would serve him [Fm] now as the king of bluegrass, Christian [D#] Jimmy Martin.
I went to work with [E] him.
He was the main team player in the band for a while.
[G#m] He stood beside [E] me and had a unique voice.
[C#] A great voice.
[B] For [E] almost eight years, the ladies [F#] called him Lorne.
[G#m] [F] This goes on for all the [E] folks that I think about quite often.
[D#m] It reflects.

[B] In [D#] the same [B] place.
Seems like she's father and
[E] love [B] and [F#] mother.
Far [G#m] across the [C#m] lonely [E] [F#] hills.
[B] And home seems [E] from [B] childhood.
