Driving The Herd Lyrics - Django And Jimmie - 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 'em through 

I'm driving the herd 

I sing them to sleep 

I sing them awake 

They like my songs 

They give and I take 

I know my part 

I play from the heart 

While I'm driving the herd 

Maybe I'm following 

They'll let me know 

If I'm doing it right 

They'll sing-a-long 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? 

Maybe I'm following 

They'll let me know 

If I'm doing it right 

They'll sing-a-long 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?
