Do we love Merle Haggard
Or do we love Merle Haggard baby
And how about The Strangers man
One of our favorites
Well, I live the kind of life
Most men only dream of
Make my living writing a song
And singing them
Yeah, but I'm 31 years old
And I ain't got no place to go
When it's over
When it's all over
So I hide my age
And make the stage
And try to kick the lights out again
I throw my old guitar
Across the stage
And the best man takes the ball
And this Nashville, Tennessee crowd
Goes wild
They love a Haggard song
Come on, Jake
And after 20 years of picking
You see I'm still alive
And I'm still alive
And I'm kicking down the wall
Yeah, tonight I'll kick
The footlights out
And walk away
Without a curtain call
Come on now, horse pisser
Yeah, tonight I'll kick
The footlights out again
And try to hide the mood
I'm really in
I put on my old Instamatic grin
Tonight I'll kick
The footlights out again
Thanks a lot, Mr. Chris!
Yeah!
I live the kind of life
That most men only dream of
Jake
I make my living writing songs
I make my living writing songs
I make my living writing songs
Watch y'all singing them
Watch y'all singing them
Amen
Well, I'm 31 years old
I ain't got no place to go
When it's over
So I hide my age
Take the stage
And I try to kick the footlights out
Of the stage
again
love you Merle Haggard
