[Merle Haggard]
|
Several years ago
|
He gave up everything that mattered
|
And rambled off to Nashville Tennessee
|
|
With a pocket full of country songs
|
And his old guitar
|
He thought that's where he was supposed to be
|
|
But the family stood here waiting and his songs
|
Are getting faded
|
There's probably not a nickel in his jeans
|
|
But if he don't get good enough
|
To sing his way back home
|
He knows that he can always count on me
|
|
[George Jones]
|
Momma is Joe still driving
|
Them old nails out in Colorado
|
Lord I always thought a-lot of him
|
|
You know maybe someday
|
Me and this old guitar
|
Just might happen to get lucky
|
And I'll get a chance to go back and visit my old friends
|
Did Sonny get that ranch he always wanted
|
That's my boy
|
Lord, I used to want to be a cowboy to
|
But I'm still stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older
|
Mostly I always think about you
|
|
[Merle Haggard]
|
I wonder where he'd be right now
|
If he was not a dreamer
|
And if he was just
|
A little more like me
|
|
He wouldn't be in Nashville
|
Reaching for the stars
|
And wishing things were like they used to be
|
|

|
Me and this ol guitar

|
Mom did Sonny get that ranch that he always wanted
|
Down by Boulder
|
I used to want to be a cowboy to
|
Mom I'm stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older
|
But mostly I been thinking about you
