1
Back in 1953, we stole a car old Merle and me
2
Never thinking wed be put in jail
3
You might say that we were green, I was barely seventeen
4
When they put those bars between old Merle and me
5
Late one night we hit the wall, twenty feet we had to fall
6
To the ground where we could craw into the weeds
7
Waiting for that shotgun blast, never thinking we could last
8
We sure had to grow up fast, old Merle and me
9
We were young and crazy then, it was easy to pretend
10
Acting like wed never been in reform school
11
Looking danger in the eye, walking with our heads held high
12
We were not afraid to die, old Merle and me
13
We were living by the gun, never caring what wed done
14
Swearing it was all just fun and games you know
15
We would die and go to hell before we broke our vow to tell
16
How we escaped that prison cell, old Merle and me
17
How was Merle or me to know, we would end up on death row
18
Waiting for our turn in the electric chair
19
Shot down in a grocery store, we got busted at the door
20
Praying wasn't easy for old Merle and me
Merle Haggard I'm A White Boy
