G D Back in 1953 A We stole a car old Merle And Me G D G Never thinking we'd be put in jail. D You might say that we were green A I was barely seventeen G D When they put those bars between old Merle And Me. G D Late one night we hit the wall A Twenty feet we had to fall G D To the ground where we could craw into the weeds. G D Waiting for that shotgun blast A Never thinking we could last G D We sure had to grow up fast, old Merle And Me.
[Chorus]
G D We were young and crazy then A It was easy to pretend G D Acting like we'd never been in reform school. G D Looking danger in the eye A Walking with our heads held high G D We were not afraid to die, old Merle And Me.
G D A G D
G D We were living by the gun A Never caring what wed done G D Swearing it was all just fun and games you know. G D We would die and go to hell A Before we broke our vow to tell G D How we escaped that prison cell, old Merle And Me. G D How was Merle or Me to know A We would end up on death row G D Waiting for our turn in the electric chair. G D Shot down in a grocery store A We got busted at the door G D Praying wasn't easy for, old Merle And Me.
[Chorus]
G D We were young and crazy then A It was easy to pretend G D Acting like we'd never been in reform school. G D Looking danger in the eye A Walking with our heads held high G D We were not afraid to die, old Merle And Me.
