Alan Jackson - Merle And George Lyrics

Daddy had a 1969 Ford
When I was just about 10 years old
We would listen to Jones and Haggard on the radio
He sang She Still Thinks, I Still Care
To a girl he used to know
Old Jones and Haggard raised my country soul.

I learned how to sing and to shuffle my shoes
Listenin' to Hag sing The Workin' Man Blues
I never met ol' Merle, but we were awful close
I cut my teeth on Swingin' Doors, and Mama Tried to Sing Me Home
Ol' Jones and Haggard raised my country soul.

I maybe raged, but I'm right
I got 5 dollars and it's Saturday night
Ol' George sure put a lot of heart in the songs he sang
And everytime daddy got a little bit tight
Walk through this world make him cry
Ol' Jones and Haggard raised my country soul.

I learned how to sing and to shuffle my shoes
Listenin' to Hag sing The Workin' Man Blues
I never met ol' Merle, but we were awful close
I cut my teeth on Swingin' Doors, and Mama Tried to Sing Me Home
Ol' Jones and Haggard raised my country soul.

Ol' George and Merle they raised my country soul.
