I Met Merle Haggard Today Lyrics - Mo Pitney

I spent the morning pouring concrete 

I had a good hot plate of chicken for lunch 

Filled the tank cause it was empty 

Had a few errands to run 

And I know what your thinkin 

That sounds a little bit mundane 

But just wait... I met Merle Haggard Today 

My buddy called and said Haggard's in town to tape the Marty Stuart show 

So meet me at the back door down in NorthStar studios 

2/4 2013 4:45 was the time and date 

Hey I met Merle Haggard today 

Oh what was I thinking 

Should have took a picture with my phone 

Or a least record him singing 'pleasure to meet you Mo' 

But it was over in a second 

Then he strolled down to the stage 

But it's ok, 'cause I met Merle Haggard today 

At least I can say, I met Merle Haggard today
