If Merle Would Sing My Song 歌词

I've been walkin' these streets of Nashville Since I was a little kid Either in these boots or in my dreams I spent all I had to buy this Martin And I've been richer since I did Even though I can't afford to change the strings I've heard a lot of "no's" and "no thank you's" Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here But I still could be an overnight sensation It would only take one sympathetic ear If Merle would sing my song, I could go back home And tell everyone I know that dreams come true I'd be someone in their eyes, a face that they'd all recognize I could prove them and me I wasn't wrong If Merle would sing my song I'll bet I've played this guitar In every honkytonk and bar But as of yet they haven't noticed me But this heart and soul of mine Is filled with memories, chords, and rhymes And I know that I'm the future they can't see I could maybe make a million dollars chockin' on a tie But then I'd have to live with my regret I know God didn't give me all these dreams to let 'em die I'll make it big, it just hasnt happened yet If Merle would sing my song, I could go back home And tell everyone I know that dreams come true I'd be someone in their eyes, a face that they'd all recognize I could prove them and me I wasn't wrong If Merle would sing my song I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong If Merle would sing my song I've been walkin' these streets of Nashville Since I was a little kid Either in these boots or in my dreams
