LISTENING TO MERLE
Rick Amburgey & Chris Sligh

VERSE 1:
Put me anywhere on this globe
And if “Mama Tried” comes on the radio
I’m right back in that little house
Hearing mama sing along

There was nothing wrong with Hank or Cash
But our home leaned right towards Hag
Cuz Momma said his words meant something
More than just a song

And I still think when they come on…

CHORUS:
He sang about regret and redemption
And the power of salvation
He knew times are tough but never gave up
Cuz you can’t put a price on freedom
I can’t help but think a song can change the world
When I’m listening to Merle

VERSE 2:
He could tell you bout the way love goes
And about an Okie coming home
And you’d believe every word he said
Cuz his stories had you in ‘em

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I think he knew what it was like
Spending time trying to reconcile
A good heart and an outlaw mind

REPEAT CHORUS
