Merle and George

Daddy had a 1969 FordWhen I was just about 10 years oldWe would listen to Jones and Haggard on the radioHe sang She Still Thinks, I Still CareTo a girl he used to knowOld Jones and Haggard raised my country soulI learned how to sing and to shuffle my shoesListenin' to Hag sing The Workin' Man BluesI never met ol' Merle, but we were awful closeI cut my teeth on Swingin' Doorsand Mama Tried to Sing Me HomeOl' Jones and Haggard raised my country soulI maybe raged, but I'm rightI got 5 dollars and it's Saturday nightOl' George sure put a lot of heart in the songs he sangAnd everytime daddy got a little bit tightWalk through this world make him cryOl' Jones and Haggard raised my country soulI learned how to sing and to shuffle my shoesListenin' to Hag sing The Workin' Man BluesI never met ol' Merle, but we were awful closeI cut my teeth on Swingin' Doorsand Mama Tried to Sing Me HomeOl' Jones and Haggard raised my country soulOl' George and Merle they raised my country soul
