paroles de chanson The Brothers - Merle Haggard feat. George Jones

Several years ago
He gave up everything that mattered
And rambled off to Nashville Tennessee
With a pocket full of country songs
And his old guitar
He thought that's where he was supposed to be
But the family stood here waiting and his songs are getting faded
There's probably not a nickel in his jeans
But if he don't get good enough
To sing his way back home
He knows that he can always count on me

Momma is Joe still driving
Them old nails out in Colorado
Lord I always thought a-lot of him
You know maybe someday
Me and this old guitar
Just might happen to get lucky
And I'll get a chance to go back and visit my old friends
Did Sonny get that ranch he always wanted
That's my boy
Lord, I used to want to be a cowboy to
But I'm still stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older
Mostly I always think about you

I wonder where he'd be right now
If he was not a dreamer
And if he was just
A little more like me
He wouldn't be in Nashville
Reaching for the stars
And wishing things were like they used to be

Mom is Joe still driving
Them old nails in Colorado
I always thought alot of him
Maybe someday
Me and this old guitar
Is gonna happen to get lucky
And ill come back and visit my old friends
Mom did Sonny get that ranch that he always wanted down by Boulder
I used to want to be a cowboy to
Mom I'm stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older
But mostly I been thinking about you
