Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Seen a band the edge of town A New bar, but same old neon crowd that fender just don’t cry the same? Pop beats and the drummers way too loud We got love songs causing fights Young bucks chasin’ girls and gold Tryin’ to buy what can’t be sold If Merle could hear this so called country music now. But just remember [Chorus] Merle’s still on the radio Thank God for that old AM glow Turn that dial when it all feels strange ‘Cause country music just ain’t the same?? Bet he’s rollin’ in his grave Hearin’ what they’re tryin’ to play But his voice cuts through the static haze Keeps the heart of it alive and well [Verse 2] Mama tried and silver wings have both survived Ai is walkin on the fightin side of me… got those working man blues ???? Tonight I hope “The Bottle Let Me Down”… Ohhhh, play it again Sam [Chorus] [Bridge] Maybe I’m just gettin’ old Holdin’ on too tight to what I know But when that Bakersfield twang comes on I feel like I’m finally home So play those dusty, busted tapes Let that fiddle mourn and praise As long as that outlaw keeps a-ramblin’ He’ll outlive all these away-from-home ways [Chorus]
