Lyrics
DANCING IN THE GRASS - by Sam Baardman
Down by the lake, a flatbed trailer
A couple speakers and a gas generator
The stars are up, a picnic table
You should get here just as soon as you are able
Can’t take a break, i’m in the city
Sounds amazing but i’m way too busy
You should see my life, it’s like a prison
I can tell you this is not what I envisioned
The band is playing blues to red dirt
It’s a bluegrass, old time, string trance concert
The night is fading fast, we need to make it last
We’re all dancing in the grass
Dancing in the grass
Dancing in the grass
The fields are dusty here on the prairies
Just friends and lovers, no adversaries
Swingin’ and jumpin’, nothing exotic
Hearts are thumpin’, a bit chaotic
Okay I’m in, I’m on my way now
Forget tomorrow, tonight I’m gonna stay out
It’s like a magnet, it’s like a potion
Some kind of magic, poetry in motion
The band is playing blues to red dirt
It’s a bluegrass, old time, string trance concert
The night is fading fast, we need to make it last
We’re all dancing in the grass
Dancing in the grass
Dancing in the grass
Down by the lake, a flatbed trailer
A couple speakers and a gas generator
The stars are up, a picnic table
You should get here just as soon as you are able
The band is playing blues to red dirt
It’s a bluegrass, old time, string trance concert
The night is fading fast, we need to make it last
We’re all dancing in the grass
Dancing in the grass
Dancing in the grass
