Monday Morning Merle

(album: Ain't Nothin' To It - 2019)

Monday morning Merle
Don't worry 'bout the girl
He used to love
Tuesday he's throwback Springsteen
"Devils and Dust"

Wednesday spins the Beatles
Thursday it's the Eagles
"Take it easy"
Till that Friday rocks his world
After Saturday on Jackson Browne
He's "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
And he's right back to missing that girl
Turns up "Misery and Gin"
Here we are again
At Monday morning Merle

Monday morning Merle
Lets that old broken heart
Get back to work
He hides all the holes and the hurt
Under the dirt on his shirt
And the only way that he can get
Through the days and the regret
Is a song full of truth
With some words he never said
With those whiskey remedies
And those old-school melodies
You can't forget

That's why on Wednesday spins the Beatles
Thursday it's the Eagles
"Take it easy"
Till that Friday rocks his world
After Saturday on Jackson Browne
He's "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
And he's right back to missing that girl
Turns up "Misery and Gin"
Here we are again
At Monday morning Merle

Wednesday spins the Beatles
Thursday it's the Eagles
"Take it easy"
Till that Friday rocks his world
After Saturday on Jackson Browne
He's "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
And he's right back to missing that girl
Turns up "Misery and Gin"
Here we are again
At Monday morning Merle

That's just "The way I am"
"Sing me back home again"
To Monday morning Merle
