If Merle Would Sing My Song (feat. Merle Haggard) [Guest Vocals By Merle Haggard]

I've been walking these streets of Nashville since I was a little kid either in these boots or in my dreams 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 alot 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 to them in need I wasn't wrong if Merle would sing my song I bet I've played this guitar in every honky tonkin' 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 choking in a tie but then I'd have to live with my regret I know God didn't give me all these dreams to let them die I'll make it big it just hasn't happened yet and 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 to them in need I wasn't wrong If Merle would sing my song I could prove to them in need I wasn't wrong If Merle would sing my song He'd been walking in the streets of Nashville since he was a little kid either in his boots or in his dreams.
