Driving the Herd

[Verse 1: Merle Haggard]
I know my part
I'll bring up the rear
I'll eat the dust
You know, I don't care
That's what I do
I'll get them through
I'm driving the herd

[Verse 2: Willie Nelson]
I sing them to sleep
I sing them awake
They like my songs
I give and I take
I know my part
I play for love and heart

[Chorus: Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard]
I'm driving the herd
Maybe I'm following
They'll let me know
If I'm doing it right
They'll sing along with me every night
That's how I know
That they're liking the show
Well, I'm driving the herd
Or maybe they're driving me?

[Chorus: Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard]
I'm driving the herd
Maybe I'm following
They'll let me know
If I'm doing it right
They'll sing along with me every night
That's how I know
That they're liking the show
Well, I'm driving the herd
Or maybe they're driving me?
