When I asked myself what you (Pat) had been
To me, my memories were rife
But one theme came through clear and clean
That you were the soundtrack of my life
To sing with you and sound as one
Has simply given me such joy
Provided me with so much fun
Starting when I was but a boy
Bluegrass was the genre first
But nothing was really spared
We were known to quench a thirst
We just sung like no-one cared
You'd harmonize like no other
Making average sound insane
I idolized you my brother
And wish to do it all again
We've argued and we've fought some too
Well we're Mason's don't you know
But shit the times we have been through
Are GOLD some people never know
I've had a bloody lucky ride
But your battle cuts me like a knife
Please beat and take this in your stride
And stay the soundtrack of my life
