I'll Change Your Flat Tire, Merle

(앨범: Two Lane Highway - 1975)

As I drove down on 65, I was cruising down that old grapevine
Well, I must have been doing at least about 95
Well out there on the side of the road all broke down and
Who do you think was standing around
But the greatest country singer alive

I'll fix your flat tire Merle
Don't ya get your sweet country picking fingers all covered with erl
'Cause you're a honky, I know, but Merle you got soul
And I'll fix your flat tire Merle

Well I hear you had an adventurous youth, making love in a telephone booth
And I even hear you did a little stretch in jail
But now you got a big ranch house with a bar
And eight, nine, ten of them fancy cars
And every other little check coming in the mail

I'll fix your flat tire Merle
Don't ya get your sweet country picking fingers all covered with erl
'Cause you're a honky, I know, but Merle you got soul
And I'll fix your flat tire Merle

Now I heard all them records ya did, making fun of us long haired kids
And now ya know we don't care what ya think... Merle
If you're gonna call the world your home
Ya know you're gonna have to get out and get stoned
An' it's better with a joint than with a drink, I think

So I'll fix your flat tire Merle
Don't ya get your sweet country picking fingers all covered with erl
'Cause you're a honky, I know, but Merle you got soul
And I'll fix your flat tire Merle
So I'll fix your flat tire Merle
