Haggard, Merle - The Brothers Lyrics
[Merle Haggard]
Several years ago
He gave up everything that mattered
And rambled off to Nashville Tennessee
And his old guitar
He thought that's where he was supposed to be
But the family stood here waiting and his songs
Are getting faded
There's probably not a nickel in his jeans
But if he don't get good enough
To sing his way back home
He knows that he can always count on me
[George Jones]
Momma is Joe still driving
Them old nails out in Colorado
Lord I always thought a-lot of him
You know maybe someday
Me and this old guitar
Just might happen to get lucky
And I'll get a chance to go back and visit my old friends
Did Sonny get that ranch he always wanted
That's my boy
Lord, I used to want to be a cowboy to
But I'm still stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older
Mostly I always think about you
[Merle Haggard]
I wonder where he'd be right now
If he was not a dreamer
And if he was just
A little more like me
He wouldn't be in Nashville
Reaching for the stars
And wishing things were like they used to be
[George Jones]
Mom is Joe still driving
Them old nails in Colorado
I always thought alot of him
Maybe someday
Me and this ol guitar
Is gonna happen to get lucky
And ill come back and visit my old friends
Mom did Sonny get that ranch that he always wanted
Down by Boulder
I used to want to be a cowboy to
Mom I'm stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older
But mostly I been thinking about you

Haggard, Merle The Brothers Comments
Love how George uses his voice on the second chorus “ I always wanted to be a cowboy too”.
God, I choke every time I hear this tune. Especially when George sings “ I want to be a cowboy to”. What a perfect match
These two are gods among men.
Loved this song and album when it came out . I wore the cassette out! My wife and I are vacationing in Nashville at this very moment. As we are walking around Nashville there is bar after bar with live music. Most are very good. My wife stated that it is sad most wont make it big. Made me think of this song. So I pulled it up on my phone and listened. It really nails those trying to make it here. Boy George makes you believe he is one of those! You can hear the anguish in his voice that he hadn’t made .
Enjoyed Ty Tom
Lord this is so good. I grew up in Nashville, and I've seen all the greats at one time or another. I have know so many guys who came with no money and a guitar looking for that dream. So few find it.
All of us musicians are alike. Got that dream and won't let it go. As long as we can still sing and play our music from the heart and soul we'll be ok.
