Cody Johnson - Monday Morning Merle Lyrics






Monday morning Merle
Don't worry 'bout the girl
He used to love
Tuesday he's throwback Springsteen
"Devils and Dust"

Wednesday spins the Beatles
Thursday it's the Eagles
"Take it easy"
Till that Friday rocks his world
After Saturday on Jackson Browne
He's "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
And he's right back to missin' that girl
Turns up "Misery and Gin"
Here we are again
At Monday morning Merle

Monday morning Merle
Lets that old broken heart
Get back to work
He hides all the holes and the hurt
Under the dirt on his shirt
And the only way that he can get
Through the days and the regret
Is a song full of truth
With some words he never said
With those whiskey remedies
And those old-school melodies
You can't forget

That's why on Wednesday spins the Beatles
Thursday it's the Eagles
"Take it easy"
Till that Friday rocks his world
After Saturday on Jackson Browne
He's "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
And he's right back to missin' that girl
Turns up "Misery and Gin"
Here we are again
At Monday morning Merle

Wednesday spins the Beatles
Thursday it's the Eagles
"Take it easy"
Till that Friday rocks his world
After Saturday on Jackson Browne
He's "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
And he's right back to missin' that girl
Turns up "Misery and Gin"
Here we are again
At Monday morning Merle

That's just "The way I am"
"Sing me back home again"
To Monday morning Merle
Monday morning Merle

  9. A.... P....

    Such a damn good song.XX

  10. D.... T....

    great voice please stay country

  11. R.... H....

    I have been so sick of most everything coming out of Nashville the last several years that I have listened to only 80's and 90's country on Sirius/XM. The other day, I was listening to Ronnie Dunn's Road Trip on Prime Country when he played one of Cody Johnson's songs, and I was hooked. This song takes me back to when I was a kid and I first heard George Strait's Amarillo By Morning. It's just that good!!

  12. C.... D....

    I just 😍 it

  13. k.... W....

    Lord have mercy country music fans , we have an artist we can finally worship again hell yeah

  14. J.... T....

    Just heard this for the first time on the radio today...I was literally pumping my fist. This is country. This is what I've been missing. Thank you.

  15. S.... M....

    Cody is bae.

  16. T.... M....

    The kind of music to find yourself.

  17. C.... K....

    Damn 6 replays later I should really go to sleep but this song sounds amazing

  18. M.... T....

    One of the most cleverly written country songs ever.

  19. J.... H....

    Real. Country.

  20. K.... T....

    This reminds me of my Dads music after my mom left. I like it.

  21. d.... c....

    I have ALWAYS HATED country music. I think it's all, and literally, all, shit. But... And this is major. This song has turned me on to country. This track BLEW MY MIND. I am a firm believer in this artist. You got a new supporter.

  22. B.... H....

    Damn good song I love it

  23. C.... N....

    Muito bom!! Sou Brasileira Cowgirl adorei as músicas 🐎❤❤

  24. A.... M....

    Maybe with Chris Stapleton is his competition or perhaps Luke Combs..

  25. A.... M....

    Cody you are awesome..Bring a concert to Florida

  26. J.... H....

    Now that's what Country music is supposed to sound like but sadly that's also the reason why he's so underrated. People would rather listen to shit they play on the radio.

  27. B.... w....

    Holy shit this is a great song..merle is the best EVER..i even have a tattoo on my arm that says..mama tried... This guy is easily the best thing counrty music has had in well iver a decade...awesome song

  28. d.... ....

    Great , Yes !

  29. T.... B....

    There two ppl worth listening to CoJo and Luke Combs very few more then that 👍

  30. S.... G....

    Wow it has taken a month for me to get this album from USA to UK but OMG it is so worth the wait, fab gritty voice that is so soothing, Country music as it should be. Hope he tours the UK this year.

  31. i.... t....

    I miss this old school country stuff♡

  32. K.... H....

    Dang this is a GOOD SONG!

  33. M.... T....

    I’m loving this!!😎🎸

  34. I.... R....

    Cody Johnson is by far the best country singer, Texas one and only best kid!!! #COJONATION4EVER Keep it up COJO!!!

  35. L.... M....

    best song ever

  36. D.... D....

    Just when I thought real country music was doomed, I heard about Cody. This guy will fill George Strait's boots.
    Let's hope the great state of Texas keeps great country singers coming, because as Alan Jackson once sang, someone killed country music. That someone is the Nashville recording studios.

    D.... D....

    You should check out Tyler Childers he is really good too.

    D.... D....

    Dennis D George strait sang it with him it's called murder on music row

  37. J.... B....

    Omg this is me .....thank cody johnson this is real texas music

  38. k.... ....

    Love this song!!! Love his guy :)

  39. M.... T....

    Love this!!

  40. T.... B....

    Church, Stapleton, Johnson, Jinks, Childers, Wall, Simpson. Thumbs up if that's your playlist.

    Country isn't dead, those listed above are the legends of tomorrow.

    T.... B....

    @countrygirl countrymusiclover Why do you feel the need to pollute every single comment section? I can't look at one country music video without finding the ramblings of a woman who has obviously gone insane.

    T.... B....

    And Isbell of course

    T.... B....

    Bail Its just some loser in their basement trolling, no way it’s a real person’s thoughts.

    T.... B....

    Nope I bet she is a therapist, they are all crazy.

    T.... B....

    Take church off there. He's a burnt out liberal

  41. E.... D....

    Freakin obsessed with this song.

  42. Y.... B....

    This song is amazing. Been listening to it on repeat all week

  43. R.... P....

    Man....this is country music ,not that pop country bullshit

  44. T.... ....

    And he’s right back to missing that girl...

  45. E.... V....

    Hero Merle and Strait is real un you Cody
    Not?

    E.... V....

    That is the country music i grew up on and love to play when the song,s and music are truly worth playing like my hero,s whitley and tracy lawence

  46. M.... s....

    I am bitch

  47. J.... K....

    Cody another killer kick ass song.Thanks Cody.

  48. P.... H....

    I love this song Cody Johnson you are awesome can't get enough of you

  49. T.... ....

    With those whiskey remedies and those old school melodies you can’t forget

  50. L.... G....

    Love it! Started learning it so I can get the guitar tutorial done soon!

  51. K.... B....

    You are good at singing Monday morning merle

  52. S.... D....

    ฟังหลายรอบมาก เพราะที่สุด อิอิ

  53. M.... o....

    Can i get lyrics?

  54. W.... ....

    When are ya coming to the UK !!!!!!!!!!

  55. L.... K....

    @Austin Marshall
    Eric church and Chris Stapleton

    L.... K....

    My life to t

  56. B.... M....

    I can just hear Zane Williams singing this.

  57. D.... L....

    Cody had a CMA interview. They asked Garth Brooks who was out there today he really enjoyed. His response "Cody Johnson is the real deal"

    D.... L....

    Is that online somewhere? Would love to see

    D.... L....

    @SBMusic its on youtube

    D.... L....

    My life right there

    D.... L....

    He's opening for Garth in Arizona! I checked out Cody's music to get an idea what to expect, and I'm loving it.

  58. D.... ....

    nice bro

  59. B.... M....

    36 dislikes shame on you all country as it should sound

  60. M.... O....

    Easy and breezy. ...LOVE this song!!! 😘😘😍😍

  61. D.... S....

    An unexplained, easy listening rhythm with the classic George Strait voice but heel tapping, shoulder swaying cadence of Lionel Richie. This has the same substance and ease as "Lay Low" Josh Turner. Love this sound. Absolutely love it. Could listen to this song and sound over and over. You're the real deal dude.


    Love when artists put their focus in transferring substance to their music rather than trying to merely show case a powerhouse voice, but when it comes down to it they have the "powerhouse" to back it up... Love it man!


    Please make more of this music and don't loose that sound? That's a genuine question.

  62. D.... L....

    Not one Cody Johnson song i can skip. Havnt found one yet. ❤

  63. A.... M....

    I love Cody Johnson but, I already heard this song when it was called Half a Song....same progression, BPM and melody....I hope its not a sign of things to come. I LOVE everything else ive heard

    A.... M....

    My daughter loves Cody’s music. I have become a cody johnson fan because of this song. I’ve listened to both songs and while half a song is good this song is great. I’m sure glad cody doesn’t think the same way you do.

  64. A.... B....

    Thank you COJO. Your e the man please come back to coyote joes.

  65. c.... d....

    He’s a great artist and a damn good performer, if anybody get the opportunity to go see him live go.

  66. R.... D....

    All of cody Johnsons new songs & old are my favorites, his music is actually real and relatable. Not that Tim McGraw and Taylor swift 'country' crap, If you want real country listen to hank Williams, George strait, and cody Johnson. Every one else cant even describe what country means. Or let alone what it is

  67. M.... D....

    First time I heard of Cody he sounds damn good where have you been sweetie two thumbs up 👍👍🔥🔥Love it❤❣❣❣❣❣

    M.... D....

    You have been missing out!

    M.... D....

    @Matt Phelps yes I have been Matthew Phelps

  68. A.... l....

    Monday Morning Merle don’t worry ‘bout the girl he used to love
    Tuesday he’s throwback Springsteen “Devils and Dust”
    Wednesday spins The Beatles
    Thursday it’s The Eagles “Take it easy” til that Friday rocks his world
    After Saturday all Jackson Brown he’s “Sunday Morning Comin’ Down” then he’s right back to missing that girl
    Turns up “Misery and Gin”, here we are again at Monday Morning Merle

    Monday Morning Merle lets that old broken heart get back to work
    He hides all the holes and hurt under the dirt on his shirt
    And the only way that he can get through the days and the regret is a song full of truth with some words he never said with those whiskey remedies and those old school melodies you can’t forget
    That’s why on Wednesday spins The Beatles

  74. M.... R....

    Next George strait right here! Keep up the amazing job Cody!

    M.... R....

    Matthew Ramos exactly who I though of when I heard the record👌👌

  75. J.... R....

    One of his best ever...really, really good.

  76. N.... O....

    You played so many new songs at marathon music works in Nashville but I couldn’t hear any of them over how loud the crowd was. Glad I can finally hear them

    N.... O....

    I was there too and I couldn't agree more. I couldn't see most of it either with all the heads :/

  77. J.... P....

    Hello beautiful

  79. M.... S....

    Cody and McGraw would make a great duo song

    M.... S....

    Said no one ever! McGraw couldn’t even tune this man’s guitar. CoJo is the absolute best artist of country music, and will be for a long while.

    M.... S....

    Tim McGraw ain't country singer

    M.... S....

    @J He's very talented. But the heir to the throne is Mr. Stapleton

  80. I.... C....

    good song nice to hear genuine country
