about

Being a musician is a hard life, filled with many dangers. Mostly ourselves.

lyrics

Written by Mike Finders

I could play "Uncle Pen" before I was ten,
fiddle "Sally Goodin" all day.
I could steal the smiles of all those old guys
as we'd sit on the old porch and play.
There'd often be a bottle goin 'round,
that I soon began to crave.
And it's the only life I've ever known,
I'll be fiddlin' to my grave.

Well I coulda gone to the army, I guess,
or got a job at the old lumber yard.
But it'd be a waste not to taste that sweet moonshine,
and workin' just seemed too hard.
I guess I knew from early on,
I'd be no boss-man's slave.
And it's the only life I've ever known,
I'll be fiddlin' to my grave.

So I hopped in a van, with a band, and we hit that old road
playing two hundred shows a year.
And all the places and times blur into one long line
in the haze of the smoke and the beer.
A few of the ladies tried to take me in.
They found I could not be saved.
And it's the only life I've ever known,
I'll be fiddlin' to my grave.

Now the time has gone by in the blink of an eye
and I'm old before I'm young.
I got a cough that won't quit from the gin and cigarrettes
I'll have to leave my last song unsung.
There's no careplan there for a fiddler like me,
no retirement did I save.
And it's the only life I've ever known,
I'll be fiddlin' to my grave.
