@Mopar21277 Yes he did live on Lake shasta, Whiskey Town to be exact. He Now lives in Palo Cedro Ca. Which is somewhere near Redding and Shasta.

@Warrosquyoake Well Merle was married to Buck Owens Ex wife Bonnie Owens or maybe she Married Buck after Merle Not sure. But that Is not what the song is about I don't believe. Bonnie was one of Merle's LONG time Back up singers.

This song came out about the same time I moved to Bakersfield. So I stayed the heck out of the Kern River. Perhaps Merle Haggard saved my life.

I swam the Kern River above Wofford Heights and Kernville as a no fear teenager. I couldn't beleive this song when it came out in 1985(i think). The summers we camped at and around Lake Isabella in the 1970s were legendary. My point is country music has Texas and Tennessee, and thats fine, but there was and is the greatest and baddest ass country singer of all time from the California we used to know! Merle Haggard.
