Merle And Me
Written and recorded by David Allan Coe

F C
Back in 1953 we stole a car old Merle and me
G7 F C
Never thinking we'd be put in jail
F C G7
You might say that we were green I was barely seventeen
F C
When they put those bars between old Merle and me

F C G7
Late one night we hit the wall twenty feet we had to fall
F C G7 C
To the ground where we could crawl into the weeds
F C G7
Waiting through that shotgun blast never thinking we could last
F C
We sure had to grow up fast old Merle and me

F C
We were young and crazy then it was easy to pretend
G7 F C
Acting like we'd never been in reform school
F C
Looking danger in the eyes walking with our heads held high
G7 F C
We were not afraid to die old Merle and me

F C
We were living by the gun never caring what we'd done
G7 F C
Swearing it was all just fun and games you know
F C G7
We would die and go to hell before we broke our vow to tell
F C
How we escaped that prison cell old Merle and me

F C
How was Merle or me to know we would end up on death row
G7 F C
Waiting for our turn in the electric chair
F C
Shot down in a grocery store we got busted at the door
G7 F C
Praying wasn't easy for old Merle and me
