Daddy had a 1969 Ford And I was just ’bout ten years old We would listen to Jones and Haggard on the radio He sang these things I still care To a girl he used to know Ol’ Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes Listenin’ to the Hag sing the “Workin’ Man Blues” I never met ol’ Merle, but we were awful close I cut my teeth on “Swinging Doors” And “And Momma Tried To Sing Me Home” Ol’ Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
I may be ragged but I’m right I’ve got five dollars and it’s Saturday night Ol’ George sure put a lot of heart in the songs he sang And every time daddy got a little bit tired “Walk Through This World” would make him proud Ol’ Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes Listenin’ to Hank sing “The Workin Mam Blues” I never met ol’ Merle but we was awful close I cut my teeth on “Swinging Doors” And “And Momma Tried To Sing Me Home” Ol’ Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
