If Merle Would Sing My Song - Merle Haggard
Blaine Larsen

(feat. Merle Haggard)


I've been walkin' these streets of Nashville

Since I was a little kid

Either in these boots or in my dreams

I spent all I had to buy this Martin

And I've been richer since I did

Even though I can't afford to change the strings


I've heard a lot of no's and no thank you's

Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here

But I still could be an overnight sensation

It would only take one sympathetic ear


If Merle would sing my song, I could go back home

And tell everyone I know that dreams come true

I'd be someone in their eyes, a face that they'd all recognize

I could prove them and me I wasn't wrong

If Merle would sing my song


I'll bet I've played this guitar

In every honkytonk and bar

But as of yet they haven't noticed me

But this heart and soul of mine

Is filled with memories, chords, and rhymes

And I know that I'm the future they can't see


I could maybe make a million dollars chockin' on a tie

But then I'd have to live with my regret

I know God didn't give me all these dreams to let 'em die

I'll make it big, it just hasn't happened yet


If Merle would sing my song, I could go back home

And tell everyone I know that dreams come true

I'd be someone in their eyes, a face that they'd all recognize

I could prove them and me I wasn't wrong

If Merle would sing my song


I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong

If Merle would sing my song


I've been walkin' these streets of Nashville

Since I was a little kid

Either in these boots or in my dreams
