[00:00.00]If Merle Would Sing My Song - Blaine Larsen
[00:13.92]I've been walking these streets of Nashville
[00:16.61]
[00:17.31]Since I was a little kid
[00:19.51]
[00:21.34]Either in these boots or in my dreams
[00:25.05]
[00:26.54]I spent all I had to buy this Martin
[00:29.66]
[00:30.44]And I've been richer since I did
[00:32.96]
[00:34.00]Even though I can't afford to change the strings
[00:38.40]
[00:40.48]I've heard a lot of no's and no thank you's
[00:45.74]
[00:47.17]Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here
[00:51.13]
[00:53.76]But I still could be an overnight sensation
[00:58.49]
[01:00.50]It would only take one sympathetic ear
[01:04.86]
[01:07.13]If Merle would sing my song I could go back home
[01:13.16]
[01:13.78]And tell everyone I know that dreams come true
[01:18.57]
[01:20.09]I'd be someone in their eyes a face that they'd all recognize
[01:26.56]
[01:27.23]I could prove them and me I wasn't wrong
[01:31.05]
[01:32.06]If Merle would sing my song
[01:34.89]
[01:40.45]I'll bet I've played this guitar
[01:43.06]
[01:43.70]In every honky tonk and bar
[01:46.63]
[01:48.03]But as of yet they haven't noticed me
[01:51.35]
[01:53.60]But this heart and soul of mine
[01:56.61]Is filled with memories chords and rhymes
[01:59.80]
[02:00.64]And I know that I'm the future they can't see
[02:05.03]
[02:07.29]I could maybe make a million dollars chockin' on a tie
[02:12.81]
[02:14.25]But then I'd have to live with my regret
[02:17.62]
[02:20.56]I know God didn't give me all these dreams to let' em die
[02:26.41]
[02:27.18]I'll make it big it just hasn't happened yet
[02:31.25]
[02:33.68]If Merle would sing my song I could go back home
[02:39.66]
[02:40.45]And tell everyone I know that dreams come true
[02:45.31]
[02:46.83]I'd be someone in their eyes a face that they'd all recognize
[02:53.01]
[02:53.76]I could prove them and me I wasn't wrong
[02:58.23]
[02:58.84]If Merle would sing my song
[03:01.80]
[03:03.95]I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong
[03:08.84]If Merle would sing my song
[03:11.76]
[03:16.87]He's been walking these streets of Nashville
[03:20.37]Since he was a little kid
[03:22.65]
[03:24.82]Either in these boots or in his dreams
