Too Much Boogie Woogie - Merle Haggard

Seems my whole life is patterned after 1963

I could go to the picture show

Or catch a country jamboree

Now there’s people picking on the Opry

And I don’t know who they’re with

There’s too much boogie woogie

And not enough Connie Smith

The truth about the matter is enough to make you cry

If you don’t know what we’re talking about

Have a good day and say goodbye

Hey, that stuff they’re playing on the radio

Oughta be down at the bottom of abyss

There’s too much boogie woogie

And not enough Hank and Chris

I thank God for Marty Stuart

Every time he’s through

And thanks to Willie Nelson

And thanks to Emmylou

Hey, we gotta be more demanding

Down at the corner pub

There’s too much boogie woogie

And not enough Ernest Tubb

(Ah come in now Reggie)

I thank God for Marty Stuart

Hey, every time he’s through

Thanks God for Willie Nelson

And thanks for Emmylou

We gotta be more demanding

Down at the corner pub

There’s too much boogie woogie

And not enough Ernest Tubb

That’s right, too much boogie woogie

And not enough Ernest Tubb

Dog gone ya
