Merle Haggard piosenki

Always late with your kisses Won't you come to my arms, sweet darling, and stay? Always late with your kisses Why, oh why, do you want to do me this way? How long do you think I can wait When you know you're always late? 

Always wanting you, but never having you, Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I Know I'll wake up wanting you again. Always loving you, but never touching you, Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand. I'd been better off if I'd turned away and...

If the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' should disappear And there were no wheat or barley anywhere Would we buy our bread and butter from the Toyota man Would an Idaho spud be stamped 'Made In Japan' The farm just won't get tended, if the farmer isn't here And the 'Amb...

Why don't we liberate these United States, We're the ones that need it worst. Let the rest of the world help us for a change, And let's rebuild America first. Our highways an' bridges are fallin' apart: Who's blessed an' who has been cursed? There's things to...

I was a stranger passing through your town Honey, I was a stranger passing through your town When I asked you a favor, good gal you turned me down Sure did You may see me talking, walking down that railroad track You may see me talking, walking down that rail...

I was a buck was still silver It was back when the country was strong Back before Elvis Before the Vietnam war came along Before The Beatles and 'Yesterday' When a man could still work, still would The best of the free life behind us now And are the go...

Are you lonesome tonight do you miss me tonight Are you sorry we drifted apart Does your memory stray to a bright summer day When I held you and called you sweetheart Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me...

You must remember this A kiss is still a kiss A sigh is just a sigh The fundamental things apply As time goes by. And when two lovers woo They still say: "I love you." On that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time goes by. Moonlight and love...

I guess my heart had settled back to her I rode a dream so wild and free for all that dream was worth But true love is both, a blessing and a curse Today my heart just settled back to earth Now I know just how you felt that night so long ago For the dream for...

Now it's back to the barrooms Right back to drinkin' again Someday you'll love me enougn to stay with me And whiskey won't be my best friend But now it's back to the barrooms again The bartender knows me, he knows how you do me And he knows why I'm back...

I've never been much at making believe, Don't have any tricks hidden up my sleeve. If life is a comedy, where's all the laughter? 'Cause here on the stage I'm a bad actor. I don't know what you want me to know. So I'll take the small parts in our family show....

Hey, I want to sing till the feeling gets right Well, let's harmonize, we'll be dynamite I'll yodel the high notes, I've done it for years Good deal old buddy and I'll pour the beer There's always some lady alone at the bar Yeah and you always let her kn...

Won't you come along with me To the Mississippi We'll take a boat to the land of dreams Steam down the river, down to New Orleans The band's there to meet us Old friends there to greet us Where all the proud and elite folks meet Heaven on earth, they call it...

What makes something you can't have always look so good Why'd do something out of reach seem so fine What makes you thrill me more than any girl I know I guess it's just because you can't be mine Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me And be s...

Well, I learned how to walk and I learned how to run in Bakersfield Should've fone time over things I'd done in Bakersfield I tasted my first taste of romance in Bakersfield I learned how to fight and I learned how to dance in Bakersfield Dancin' on Beer...

I read, they're havin' rain in California And Lord, I hope that you're not gettin' wet That's the only way on earth I have for knowin' how you're doin' When you left, you said, you call but you ain't yet And I think I was better off when I was hungry And fig...

In the town of Louisville They got a man called Big Bad Bill I want to tell you he sure was tough Yeah, all folks scared to death When he walked by they held their breath He was a mighty man sure enough Now Bill took himself a wife Now he's a different guy...

I wish things were simple like they used to be When cowboys rode horses, and were heroes to me My Mother was a lady, and my Dad was a man And I wish things were simple again I wish things were simple, like when I was a kid A man just got paid for the work tha...
