《Merle and Me》歌词

[00:00:00] Merle and Me - David Allan Coe

[00:00:26] Back in 1953

[00:00:29] We stole a car old merle and me

[00:00:32] Never thinking wed be put in jail

[00:00:38] You might say that we were green

[00:00:42] I was barely seventeen

[00:00:45] When they put those bars between old merle and me

[00:00:51] Late one night we hit the wall

[00:00:54] Twenty feet we had to fall

[00:00:58] To the ground where we could craw into the weeds

[00:01:04] Waiting for that shotgun blast

[00:01:08] Never thinking we could last

[00:01:11] We sure had to grow up fast old merle and me

[00:01:17] We were young and crazy then

[00:01:20] It was easy to pretend

[00:01:24] Acting like wed never been in reform school

[00:01:30] Looking danger in the eye

[00:01:34] Walking with our heads held high

[00:01:37] We were not afraid to die old merle and me

[00:01:56] We were living by the gun

[00:01:59] Never caring what wed done

[00:02:03] Swearing it was all just fun and games you know

[00:02:09] We would die and go to hell

[00:02:12] Before we broke our vow to tell

[00:02:16] How we escaped that prison cell Old merle and me

[00:02:22] How was merle or me to know

[00:02:26] We would end up on death row

[00:02:29] Waiting for our turn in the electric chair

[00:02:35] Shot down in a grocery store

[00:02:38] We got busted at the door

[00:02:42] Praying wasn't easy for old merle and me

[00:02:49] We were young and crazy then

[00:02:52] It was easy to pretend

[00:02:55] Acting like wed never been in reform school

[00:03:02] Looking danger in the eye

[00:03:05] Walking with our heads held high

[00:03:08] We were not afraid to die old merle and me
