You know looking back in the early eighties my sister would pull my hair in the back seat of daddy's Lincoln Contenental and Iooking at my Dad from the back with his feathered cowboy hat singing Merle songs, the music really grabbed me and I would sing with him and still I would ride out to Palacios and in his front yard with my speaker and microphone and sing any song he wishes to hear cause I Know them all GOD BLESS MR. HAGG
The best country music song writer and artist in my lifetime. Everybody else is following him, was an honor to know this man and his family as well as the strangers.
This song has every ring of truth in it .. there’s only one man that can sing a life story so spot on ... he will always be the back bone of country music .. rip Merle 🙏🥰
+Mike Rich I had no idea how prophetic my post was to be...I have the day off to mourn my son who was killed in a car wreck 2 days ago....now this....im a mess!
If God created a better country singer and songwriter he didn't share any of it with us I truly love merle haggard I can't say anything more rip Mr Merle Haggard you gave us the best and left us a legacy of your heart ❤
As much I love Waylon, Cash, ect. Merle is king imo as well. Such a great guitarist, one of the best voices combined with his “story telling” ballads makes him untouchable
We were hurt with the loss of George jones and now we are suffering the loss of another country legend, Merle. May these two rest in peace and will continue to cherish the country music they brought us. God Bless both of these wonderful music artist.
my dad was an avid Merle Haggard fan and as i am too , this is the last song my dad asked me to play on my monster system before he died . this is my favorite song to date now . also kern river blues as well that is the other one i played for him 12 /22/17 rip Dad and 4/06/16 rip Merle!!
If it wasn’t for George jones and Merle and Waylon David Alan coe Charlie daniels an this list goes on from older to some newer I wouldn’t listen to country cause the kids today wouldn’t know what good country music was If they had a vinyl or 8 track or cassette tape of it to listen too lol and sad the Keith Whitley and Conway and Gary Stewart and others left us way to early I think they would piles of more hits we would love listening to or better yet dranking too
the man the music was always the greatest.I loved his style.he was so different you know?the songs he sung have always stuck with me. my brother Doug was really crazy sbout merle.he was always singing one of his songs.my Brother is in heaven now. maybe he will get to see merle and they might sing one togather.that would be great.miss you merle.
When you left us,you went to heaven. Where the Good lord and all his children, don't never worry bout runnin outta wine! We love you and miss you ole boy! Thanx for making the world a better place GOD BLESS!
I used to pay the band members in AK to sing this over and over again! They did a good job of this song. They got so tired of me asking they refused to sing it again every weekend, but I loved this song so much as the tune was so perfect.
Great version. Love ole Hank Cochran singing it too. Hank lived every word if that song. God bless you both. RIP Merle,RIP Hank. Thanks for the great upload. Regards Frank
