Daddy had a 1969 Ford
When I was just about ten years old
We would listen to Jones and Haggard on the radio
He sang "She thinks I still care"
To a girl he used to know
Old Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes
Listening to Hag sing "Working man blues"
I've never met old Merle
But we were awful close
I cut my teeth on the "Swinging doors"
And "Mama tried" to "Sing me home"
Old Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
I may be ragged, but I'm right
I got five dollars and it's Saturday night
Old George sure put a lot of heart in the songs he sang
And everytime daddy got a little bit tight
Walk through this world would make him cry
Old Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes
Listening to Hag sing "Working man blues"
I've never met old Merle
But we were awful close
I cut my teeth on the "Swinging doors"
And "Mama tried" to "Sing me home"
Old Jones and Haggard raised my country soul
Yeah, old George and Merle
They raised my country soul
