Listen up, son. This is what REAL country music sounds like. This is my favorite Haggard song, and one of my favorite songs of all-time. Just brilliant.
no matter where I am, this song reaches my lips, I end up singing it almost instinctively when I'm alone, weird because I hardly ever listen to it, it's been a long time since I actually heard it anywhere but I wake up singing it
i never relly gave much atteion to anyone accept meril an untill this day i still havent love othiers music but when it comes to writeing an music no one has the all away abilty then him thier are othiers that deeply touch me but i relly can feel the life of his music for me he relly can bring you to true grips of life
i never relly gave much atteion to anyone accept meril an untill this day i still havent love othiers music but when it comes to writeing an music no one has the all away abilty then him thier are othiers that deeply touch me but i relly can feel the life of his music for me
This song meant a lot to me as a young man. There was a girl I liked--seems so long ago--and I knew nothing was going to come of it. I would listen to this song at night and find real comfort. There'll never be another singer like The Hag :-(
@newone680 I definately like alot of country singers but I have to agree with you. Merle is what country music is about.....he wrote most of his songs...they came from his heart...he is the greatest country singer of all time.
Nice post fella, what upsets me the most si one day gods gonna want to hear him sing then he'll be gone forever. Will you be posting, the Lonsome Fugitive and all my friends are gonna be strangers?
This is by far my favorite country song after Any of Hank Williams Sr. Just got so much emotion feeling behind it, Coming in second would have to be sing me back home.
merle is the man... I grew up on haggard.... loved haggard...still do....
I know he had some shitty years.. sang bad.. but got it together and sings like the old days again....I seen his show at casinorama last year and i was VERY impressed... he's pro to the backbone....sadly counrty music went to shit since his days... its embarassing to hear the modern day howlings of the new "country " singers... i guess jackson and strait were right.. there's been an aweful murder....down on music row.
@horseinmail Man that one hell of a good comment. For me, Country will always be The Outlaws (In perticular Willie Nelson) Merle, and good ol' Boxcar.
this is from the hag's epic records label era, which i feel is just as great as his capitol years...and if anything, if it is possible, he grew as a vocalist.
hey! thanks! this is my #3 all time favorite country song. except for my #2 fave all of my top ten favorite country songs are all my the hag. no one can touch him when it comes to singing and songwriting. he is the best!...and so are you. your friend, john

The voice of the common man and his family. No fancy words, no varnish, no lies,
just the simple plain truth. Merle's one of a kind.

This is absolutely the best song that Merle recorded, bar none. This makes you feel like you are living the story. The instruments are superb also.
