Текст песни: Merle, Hank & Johnny + перевод

When I was just a kid out in the Midwest

You grew your hair as long as it could go

Farm boys got down in the dirt and rassled

Topsoil blew as far as Ohio

Got our records up at the hardware

Spent every last dime on rock n roll

But on the radio it was Merle and Hank and Johnny

Buck Owens, Jimmy Rodgers and George Jones

Well I grew up and I drifted from the Midwest

Seen London, New York and Montreal

The music that we listened to had drum machines

We rocked as they kicked down the Berlin Wall

Though my young years sometimes felt like someone else’s

Everyone now and then you’d hear it wafting low

On the radio, Merle and Hank and Johnny

Buck Owens, Jimmy Rodgers and George Jones

Silver Wings, I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry

Stuck in Folsom Prison, Without You

I Got A Tiger By The Tail, Tea for Texas

Blue Must Be The Color Of The Blues

Now I scan the sunny skies of California

And I don’t know where the days of time have flown

And I look into the mirror, don’t know where that kid has gone

As even now I got a young one of my own

And I wonder what’s the music she’ll hold inside her heart

The cartoon kids they all sing rock n roll

But I’ll make sure she hears Merle and Hank and Johnny

Buck Owens, Jimmy Rodgers and George Jones

Silver Wings, I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry

Stuck in Folsom Prison, Without You

I Got A Tiger By The Tail, Tea for Texas

Blue Must Be The Color Of The Blues
