Feelin' Like Merle Livin' Like Hank. An upbeat, Texas 2-Step style tune about a man who feels like he understands why Hank and Merle were so broken hearted and drank so much.
Feeling like Merle, Living like Hank
Takin’ my life -- Drink after drink
Smoke filled bar -- Swinging doors
Getting’ drunk – Falling on the floor
Well I’m so lonesome I could cry
Your cheatin’ heart tore me up inside
Oh mercy me – Lord help me think
She’s got me feeling like Merle, livin’ like Hank
(Verse 1)
Oh these long gone lonesome blues
Has left me with a tear in my beer
I feel like a lonesome fugitive
Whose life has turned to wasted years
Lord she’s made me a ramblin’ man
Now all I got is this heartache on my hands
Oh bartender – pour me another drank
She’s got me feeling like Merle livin’ like Hank
