The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
"Let my guitar friend do my request"
The first thing I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowing
And a young gun's dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leaving town, not knowing where I'm bound
No one could change my mind but Mama tried
I wish a buck was still silver
It was back when the country was strong
Back before Elvis
Before the Vietnam war came along
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take no trips on LSD
We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street
We like livin' right, and bein' free
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on roses
And the voice I hear falling
On my ear the son of God discloses
More Merle Haggard - He Walks With Me (in The Garden) Lyrics
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
More Merle Haggard - Today I Started Loving You Again Lyrics
I hear people talkin' bad
About the way we have to live here in this country
Harpin' on the wars we fight
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be
Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away, leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
It's a big job gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
You know I've been a workin' man dang near all my life
I'll keep on working long as my two hands are fit to use
I drink my beer at a tavern and sing a little bit of these working man blues
Lately I've been losin' the darkness in my head
The years are catchin' up with you and me but we don't care
We're growin' old together but we won't be along
In lots of ways we've fallen off but love keeps hangin' on
Merle Haggard albums.
