Lyrics Merle Haggard Tribute (live)

This is a tribute to the late great

Mister Merle Haggard

Some American country music

Here we go

First thing I remember knowin' is a lonesome whistle blowin' and a young un's dream of growin' up to ride

On a freight train leavin' town not knowin' where I'm bound

No one could change my mind but Mama tried

One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild

My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

Despite all my Sunday learnin'

To the bad, I kept on turnin'

'Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore, no no

I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried

Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

Leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried

That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried yeah

Yes she did

Today I started lovin' you again

And I'm right back where I've really always been

I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend

But today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by

With only these few million tears

I've cried

I should have known the worst was yet to come

And the crying time for me had just begun

Yes yes

Yes today I started loving you again

I'm right back

Yes I'm right back where I've really always been

I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend

But today I started loving you again

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom

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-playing friend do my request

Let him sing me back home with a song I used to

Make my old memories come alive

Take me away and turn back the years

Let him sing me back home before I die
