If Merle Would Sing Lyrics

song lyrics If Merle Would Sing My Song lyrics (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 hasnt 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 song lyrics
