BACK IN 1953 WE STOLE A CAR OLD MERLE AND ME NEVER THINKING WED BE PUT IN JAIL YOU MIGHT SAY THAT WE WERE GREEN I WAS BARELY SEVENTEEN WHEN THEY PUT THOSE BARS BETWEEN OLD MERLE AND ME
LATE ONE NIGHT WE HIT THE WALL TWENTY FEET WE HAD TO FALL TO THE GROUND WHERE WE COULD CRAW INTO THE WEEDS WAITING FOR THAT SHOTGUN BLAST NEVER THINKING WE COULD LAST WE SURE HAD TO GROW UP FAST, OLD MERLE AND ME
WE WERE YOUNG AND CRAZY THEN IT WAS EASY TO PRETEND ACTING LIKE WED NEVER BEEN IN REFORM SCHOOL LOOKING DANGER IN THE EYE WALKING WITH OUR HEADS HELD HIGH WE WERE NOT AFRAID TO DIE, OLD MERLE AND ME
WE WERE LIVING BY THE GUN NEVER CARING WHAT WED DONE SWEARING IT WAS ALL JUST FUN AND GAMES YOU KNOW WE WOULD DIE AND GO TO HELL BEFORE WE BROKE OUR VOW TO TELL HOW WE ESCAPED THAT PRISON CELL. OLD MERLE AND ME
HOW WAS MERLE OR ME TO KNOW WE WOULD END UP ON DEATH ROW WAITING FOR OUR TURN IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR SHOT DOWN IN A GROCERY STORE WE GOT BUSTED AT THE DOOR PRAYING WASN'T EASY FOR OLD MERLE AND METeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
