Daddy had a 1969 Ford and I was just bout ten years old
|
We would listen to Jones and Haggard on the radio
|
|
He sang these things I still care to a girl he used to know
|
Ol' Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
|
|
I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes
|
Listenin' to Hank sing the "Workin Man Blues"
|
I never met ol' Merle, but we were awful close
|
|
I cut my teeth on "Swinging Door" and "And Momma Tried To Sing Me Home"
|
Ol' Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
|
|
(Instrumental)
|
|
I may be ragged but I'm right
|
I've got five dollars and it's Saturday night
|
Ol' George sure put a lot of heart in the songs he sang
|
|
And every time daddy got a little bit tired
|
"Walk Through This World" would make him proud
|
Ol' Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
|
|
I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes
|
Listenin' to Hank sing "The Workin Mam Blues"
|
I never met ol' Merle but we was awful close
|
|
I cut my teeth on "Swinging Door" and "And Momma Tried To Sing Me Home"
|
Ol' Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
|
|
Ol' George and Merle they raised my country soul
|
