Merle and Lefty sang to me about love and hate in life Dick (Curless) and Dave (Dudley), they taught me `bout trucks and lonesome wifes Little Rosa touched me bad when told by Red Sovine And I first heard Jimmy Day play steel for Patsy Cline I got inspired by many names that helped me on the road Like Johnny Cash and Tom T Hall, Willie and Bill Monroe Ray Benson and all those Texas Boys ..tradition was their thing Heard Bob Wills Texas Playboys play some western swing I loved Skeeter (Davis), Connie (Smith) and Norma Jean sing of tragedy and lies.. Little Jimmy Dickens showed me how to fly the Bird Of Paradise Ray Wylie (Hubbard) put a Redneck Mother in my family And with all them Emsland Hillbillies -- everybody sing along with me : More than 2o years have come and gone, we`ve crossed the ocean blue Clay (Blaker), Jon (Emery), Michael (Ballew) and me, been known to drink a few Playing country music for the folks through all the thick and thin If we could do it over, we would do the same again Aus Songtexte Mania
