I'll Change Your Flat Tire, Merle

I’ll change your flat tire merle
(nick gravenites)

I was cruisin’ down on 99, speedin' down that old grapevine
It must have been doin' about at 95
I saw your new car has broken down and
Who do you think was standin' around
The greatest country singer alive!

I'll change your flat tire merle
Don't ya get your sweet country pickin' fingers all covered with erl
You're a honky, i know, but merle you got soul
So i'll change your flat tire merle

Well i heard about them records ya did, puttin’ down their long haired kid
They say what they’re feelin’ and how they think
It’s hard to make the world your home
And if you're gonna have to get out and get stoned
It's better with a joint than with a drink.

I'll change your flat tire merle
Don't ya get your sweet country pickin' fingers all covered with erl
You're a honky, i know, but merle you got soul
So i'll change your flat tire merle

I’ve heard you had an adventurous youth, makin' love in a telephone booth
I even heard you spent some time in jail
But now you got a brand new car
Brand, brand chils with a bar
Pickin’ all the checks in the mail

I'll fix your flat tire merle
Don't ya get your sweet country pickin' fingers all covered with erl
Cause you're honky, i know, but merle you got soul
And i'll change your flat tire merle

I'll change your flat tire merle
Don't ya get your sweet country pickin' fingers all covered with erl
You're honky, i know, but merle you got soul
So i'll change your flat tire merle
