Blaine Larsen - If Merle would sing my song 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

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/if-merle-would-sing-my-song-merle-haggard-lyrics-blaine-larsen.html ]

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
