Buck Owens, Jimmy Rogers and George Jones

Well I grew up and I drifted from the midwest
Seen London, New York and Montreal
Music that I listened to had drum machines
We rocked as they kicked down the Berlin Wall
But my younger years sometimes felt like someone else's
Every now and then I hear it wafting in low

On the radio is Merle and Hank and Johnny
Buck Owens, Jimmy Rogers and George Jones

Now I stay in the sunny skies of California
Don't know where the days or time have flown
When I look in to the mirror don't know where that kid has gone
Even now I've got a young one of my own
Now I wonder what's the music she'll hold inside her heart
Cartoon kids they all sing rock and roll

But I'll make sure she hears Merle and Hank and Johnny
Buck Owens, Jimmy Rogers and George Jones

Silver wings I'm so lonesome I could cry
Stuck in Folsom Prison without you
Tiger by the tail, 'T' for Texas
Blue must be the color of the blues

Blue must be the color of the blues
