Haggard & Jones

Verse 1
He had an ole Chevy truck from nineteen­sixty five
With old red paint chipping off the sides
And before we’d go anywhere...he’d put some air in the tires He’d take one quick look up under the hood
Just to make sure ole Red was ticking like she should Before we’d stir up some dust...on that old dirt road
And we were listening to Haggard and Jones on the radio
Verse 2
The sun would come up and we would go down
To that ole honey hole that no one else had found With some fresh dug bait...and an old cane pole
It seemed like time just stood still when
I was riding shotgun with my hair in the wind
And Lord knows what I’d give...to go way back when We were listening to Haggard and Jones on the radio
Chorus
He’d say climb aboard son and we’ll take a spin He’d turn on the radio and put a cassette tape in Those were the best days that I will ever know When grandpa turned me on to Haggard and Jones
Verse 3
Life past me by at the blink of an eye
And grandpa passed away in 2005
But his memory lives on...in my heart and my song
Now that I’m grown with kids of my own
Blacktop covers that ole dirt road
And time has touched...everything that I’ve known
And I’m still rocking to the rhythm and beat of ole Haggard and Jones I can still hear him saying
Chorus
Climb aboard son, we’ll take a spin
He’d turn on the radio and put ole Merle Haggard in Those were the best days that I will ever know When Grandpa turned me on to Haggard and Jones
And he’d say climb aboard son, we’ll take a spin He’d turn on the radio and put ole George Jones in Those were the best days that I will ever know When Grandpa turned me on to Haggard and Jones
