Letra Let merle be merle Wade Bowen

Let merle be merle

Well I was driving around in my old pickup truck down a road that didn't used to be paved
Passing all the houses that was going up and all the farms that couldn't be saved
A Haggard song came on the radio and put a big smile on my face
Made me think of something that sounded like something my grandpa would probably say

Let a boy be a boy
Let a girl be a girl
Let a nut be a nut
Let a squirrel be a squirrel
Yeah some things don't need to change in this ever changing world
Let rock and roll, be rock and roll
Let Merle be Merle

Well over yonder used to be the field we'd sit and drink our beer
I wonder what they did with all that fence, that couldn't keep us out of there
Me and old Nancy, we'd get all handsy to "Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star"
There's more things in the world that ain't changing
Than there are things that are

Let a boy be a boy
Let a girl be a girl
Let a nut be a nut
Let a squirrel be a squirrel
Yeah some things don't need to change in this ever changing world
Let rock and roll, be rock and roll
Let Merle be Merle

Let the grass be green let the sky be blue
Honky tonk on a Saturday night
A nap on Sunday afternoon
Some things don't need to change in this ever changing world

Let rock and roll, be rock and roll
Let Merle be Merle

Let rock and roll, be rock and roll
Let Merle be Merle
