"Hey Merle" lyrics

Hey Merle, did your Mama cry on the day you left Muskogee
Hey Merle, did the other side of them Swinging Doors get lonely
Did you end up on the fighting side when The Bottle Let You Down
Did you ever think you leave this big a mark on a guitar town

Now the Cadillac and the cowboy hat and the high that you were on
Still covers us with neon dust cause the legends never gone
Yeah, you made em go ooo ooo ooo when you'd sing them songs
Did you think we'd all be here still singing along, singing along
Hey Merle

Hey Hank, did you see the light at the end of that lost highway
Hey Hank, on the other side do you still get a little sideways
Nothing like a little hey good looking, to heal those lovesick blues
We're still out here honky tonkin' all because of you

Now the Cadillac and the cowboy hat and the high that you were on
Still covers us with neon dust cause the legends never gone
Yeah, you made em go ooo ooo ooo when you'd sing them songs
Did you think we'd all be here still singing along, singing along
Hey Merle

On a Friday night when neon's bright
The girls are hot and beer is cold
You're here again, with all your friends
The jukebox spinnin' country gold

Now the Cadillac and the cowboy hat and the high that you were on
Still covers us with neon dust cause the legends never gone
Yeah, you made em go ooo ooo ooo when you'd sing them songs
Did you think we'd all still be here singing along, singing along
Hey Merle
Hey Merle
