@Baptistnomore: Many of such recording artist also did drugs too, but most country artists drank, along with smoking cigarettes as I have seen an album of Merle Haggard smoking a cigarette and smoking puts on 10 years on your face. With his face completely clean shave in this video, you can see how his face has aged. I think he looks much better with his beard and mustache.
i never classified merle, waylon, willie, etc. as a good singers. always thought they just talked to your soul in rythm. this music goes so far beyond what the definition of music is it needs its own category in lifes experiences.
Someday we will all be have seats to that great concert in the sky...Merle Haggard, Vern Gosdin, Earl Thomas Conley, George, Conway Twitty, Charlie Pride, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings..just to name a few will be on stage...
Love you Merle Haggard..........Loved you backing up Ricky Van Shelton on Hungry Eyes. That was wonderful of you. I miss you and Ricky...2 most handsome men in Country Music. Great saxaphone player!!!

This is awesome - what a great song! Don't get much better than The Hag...how many people can relate to these words???? Almost all of us................
Back then, with out his beard and mustache, he sure looked so old. I am sure with all of the smoking and drinking caused him to age back then. His music is much better than what is on the radio today.
Thanks Merie you have alwaysbeen one top of my list all you older singers made Nashiville what it is today.Country is not Country in Nashiville like it was back in our years.Hell what I am trying to say is thanks for all the years you have gave us your great music it's time we spreat it share it buy it on the air.....Your Friend...R.W.
Sounds Like A Page From My Life! Thanks Merle For Your Great Songwriting! If Nashville Was Turning Them Out Like Him Id Listen To Radio Again COUNTRY AIN'T COUNTRY ANYMORE!!!
I had bought this album for the song about ..."lets chase each other round the room tonight".....or some stupid sh%&t. When I played the album and heard this song....well....here I am almost thirty years later looking for it on youtube...
on a lonely deserted road at midnite, the full moon blinding me, i heard this song for the first time. the voice and the words chilled me. i'll be a merle haggard fan forever!

Someone dedicated this song to me just a few days. It's so sad but the circumstances did not allow us to have a relationship and it's sad, so sad.
