Flower Child put on your banjo
Come and dance all night in the shadows
The Mamas and the Papas
Crosby, Stills and Nash
I never got to see them play
But I sure wish I had
My daddy went to Woodstock
He still knows where he sat
His microbus it got him there
Now the music brings him back
And thats how I know the sound
I wanna kick it up again
Wont you come on down and join in
Flower Child put on your banjo
Come and dance all night in the shadows
(Bring your tambourine)
Singin the songs that set us free
Runnin wild in the overgrown grass
Getting back into that old time bluegrass
Where I can be
The Flower Child inside me
Waylon, Merle and Willie
Gram and Emmylou
Their songs brought the outlaw
Outta folks like me and you
Like spirits in the night
Im hearing voices ringing
Long time friends of mind singin
Flower Child put on your banjo
Come and dance all night in the shadows
(Bring your tambourine)
Singin the songs that set us free
Runnin wild in the overgrown grass
Getting back into that old time bluegrass
Where I can be
The Flower Child inside me
Gimme some of that down home sound
Turn it up and we can get down
Time brings change but the message stays the same
Time brings change but my message stays
Flower child put on your banjo
Come and dance all night in the shadows
(Bring your tambourine)
Singin the songs that set us free
Runnin wild in the overgrown grass
Getting back into that old time bluegrass
Where I can be
The Flower Child inside me
Thw Flower Child inside me
Come and dance all night in the shadows
The Mamas and the Papas
