I'll Fix Your Flat Tire Merle

So this is uh, this is just sort of paying some dues to Merle

We're not jealous or anything like that but he's a star

We're more like meteorites or something like that

So this is called "I'll Fix Your Flat Tire, Merle"

Wouldn't you?

You ever see that train set he's got? God

It's nice to know

It is

You ever seen his wife's caboose?

Golly, she's nice

So, what's the expressway around here?

25

25?

Well, it's gotta end in a 5

5 Rhymes with jive

Well, it's gonna be 25 for the night

We didn't drove, we fly

Spit it out there

Alright

Hey

Ready?

1, 2, 3

As I went down on 25

Cruising down that old grapevine

Well, I musta been doing at least about 95

Well, there on the side of the road, all broke down

And who do you think was a-standing around

But the biggest country singer of them all

So I'll fix your flat tire, Merle

Don't you get your sweet country pickin' fingers all covered with oil

'Cause you're a honky, I know

But Merle, you've got soul

I'll fix your flat tire, Merle

Well, I hear you had adventurous years, Merle

Making love in a telephone booth

And I even hear you spent a little time in jail

Me too

Well, now you got a big ranch house with a bar

And eight, nine, ten, eleven of them fancy cars

And every other week, a check coming in the mail

So, I'll fix your flat tire, Merle

Don't you get your sweet country pickin' fingers all covered with oil

'Cause you're a honky, I know

But Merle, you've got soul

I'll fix your flat tire, Merle

Well, I hear about the things you did

To all us poor long haired weirdo kids

And now you know we don't really care what you think

Well, one of these days you're gonna be all alone, Merle

And you know you're gonna have to get stoned
