Hooked On Merle Haggard

歌詞

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 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, down by Boulder Lord, I used to want to be a cowboy too But I'm still stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older But mostly I was think about you 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 Mom is Joe still driving them old nails in Colorado I always thought alot of him Maybe someday me and this ol guitar is gonna happen to get lucky And I'll come back and visit my old friends Mom did Sonny get that ranch that he always wanted down by Boulder I used to want to be a cowboy too Mom I'm stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older But mostly I been thinking about you
