      Love me some Merle. Ever since I was a youngster I've admired his talent. Had the good fortune to see him once in Lancaster, Texas. Little place call " Borrowed Money's Crystal Chandolier " When I say little I do mean little. Place had not even a stage. Let alone a drum riser. The band set up over in one corner. Tables were cleared except for a few around the perimeter. The main floor area was for dancing. And there were lots of folks dancing. No seating to speak of. If you wanted to sit you sat on the floor. Which I did. Right in front of the band. I couldn't have been more than 14 feet from Merle. I have been to plenty of concerts in my time. But seeing merle in Lancaster Texas in that small venue in 1979 was THE VERY BEST !!

      I remember him from before he worked himself into Willie’s band. He was backing up a friend in Dallas who played the guitar and sang. I never met Mickey but we nodded heads a few times when I was heading in and he was heading out a place where I drank beer 45-50 years ago.

    Im strictly a heavy metal,classic and hard rock guy, but there is only 1 country music artist,and style that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE....ONLY MERLE for some reason. One of a kind voice,brilliant story telling, and just reminds me of happier and simpler time when I was a kid hearing my dad listening to him.There's nobody that could ever compare to ....THE HAG! RIP Merle, you are missed.

    "Eight track's playin' me Silver Wings
    Like a razor's edge Merle Haggard sings
    Earthbound ships on a four lane sea
    Don't look like there's any sleep for me
    Cause I ain't got time tonight
    I ain't got time tonight
    And if you want that flag to wave
    Eighteen wheels'l roll
    Eighteen wheels gonna roll road hugger
    Them eighteen wheels'l roll"
    And the wheels'l roll . . ."

    Silver wings
    Shining in the sunlight
    Roaring engines
    Headed somewhere in flight
    They're taking you away
    And leaving me lonely
    Silver wings
    Slowly fading out of sight
    Don't leave me, I cried
    Don't take that airplane ride
    But you locked me out of your mind
    And left me standing here behind
    Silver wings
    Shining in the sunlight
    Roaring engines
    Headed somewhere in flight
    They're taking you away
    And leaving me lonely
    Silver wings
    Slowly fading out of sight
    Silver wings
    Shining in the sunlight
    Roaring engines
    Headed somewhere in flight
    They're taking you away
    And leaving me lonely
    Silver wings
    Slowly fading out of sight
    Slowly fading out of sight
