Lyrics

As I drove down on 65, I was cruisin down that old grapevine Well, I must have been doin at least about 95 Well out there on the side of the road all broke down and Who do you think was standin around But the greatest country singer alive! Ill fix your flat tire Merle Dont ya get your sweet country Pickin fingers all covered with erl Cause youre a honky, I know, but Merle you got soul And Ill fix your flat tire Merle Well I hear you had an adventurous youth, Makin 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 Ill fix your flat tire Merle Dont ya get your sweet country Pickin fingers all covered with erl Cause youre a honky, I know, but Merle you got soul And Ill fix your flat tire Merle Now I heard all them records ya did, Makin fun of us long haired kids And now ya know we dont care what ya think... Merle, If youre gonna call the world your home Ya know youre gonna have to get out and get stoned An its better with a joint than with a drink, I think So Ill fix your flat tire Merle Dont ya get your sweet country Pickin fingers all covered with erl Cause youre a honky, I know, But Merle you got soul And Ill fix your flat tire Merle So Ill fix your flat tire Merle
