Lyrics:

1969
Cy Coben

If I had Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride
I wouldn't have a Buck Owen on my car
I'd give Dolly a Parton the good life
And get me a Bonnie Guitar

I'd Sue Thompson for driving Conway Twitty
I'd have Johnnie Wright there digging oil Wells Kitty

If I had Johnny's Paycheck
Charlie'd Walker home from work no more
I'd try to Warner Mac she was making
Poor Merle Haggard and sore

Oh Homer, why'd Jethro your chances away
You drove Dottie West, I saw Billy Edd Wheeler away

If I had Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride
I'd buy Minnie Pearls that glitter
She's built like a Stonewall Jackson
You shoulda seen the letter Tex Ritter

If Jeannie'd C. Riley
She'd check Billy's Grammer fully
If Hank Snows he'll get Ben Colder
Wearing Sheb's Wooleys

If I had Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride
I'd know what's keeping Faron Young that way
What's making Ferlin Husky
And Merve Shiner car each day

I'd turn Jack Greene, Claude Gray, Jim Ed Brown and Carl Belew
If I had Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride, and you, babe
Johnny's Cash, Charley's Pride, and you
