Bluegrass Music's Really Gone to Town Lyrics

(Justin Tubb)

Bluegrass music's really gone to town
Bluegrass music's really hit the ground
From New York to Bakersfield Calgary and Jacksonville
Bluegrass music's really gone to town.

I remember back when I was just a boy
In the hills of east Tennessee
I cut my teeth on Uncle Pen
They called it mountain music then.

That's why bluegrass means so much to me
I never thought I would live to see today there'd be bluegrass in Carnegie Hall
But them city folks got smart and love them country folks at heart
I guess they like their music after all.

Bluegrass music's really gone to town
Bluegrass music's really hit the ground
From New York to Bakersfield Calgary and Jacksonville
Bluegrass music's really gone to town.

--- Instrumental ---

They even got it on TV
College kids think it's the latest thing
Solemn gown and Texas shoes
Boston College barbeque.

Bluegrass really makes the rafter's rings
But kids today they think that is the same
They gotta think for each day in the week
But if you wanna see 'em go just give them footprints in the snow
Bluesgrass is the only thing for me.

Bluegrass music's really gone to town
Bluegrass music's really hit the ground
From New York to Bakersfield Calgary and Jacksonville
Bluegrass music's really gone to town...
