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
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
O George sure put a lot of heart in the songs he sang
And everytime daddy got a little bit tight
Ol' Jones and Haggard raised my country soul.
Ol' Jones and Merle they raised my country soul.
