This is what I ask myself every day. After 45 wonderful years together my husband passed away on 2-4-2013. He was my best friend, the perfect husband and everything that's great.I make it alright till night, just like Merle says in this song. Just trying to get thru another day. A big fan of the "Hag"
Another one of my favorites......So many you gave us.......Genuine and a Icon sang about life.....Country music wont be the same....Thanks for everything Merle........We sure are gonna miss you down here.....
there is no other singer with the voice of Merle. Baritone, he needs no electronic crap behind him. The Good Lord saved him from lung cancer so the rest of the world could always enjoy him.. I think I know all of the words to his songs. THE MAN MERLE
Merle is one of my hero's love all of his songs there aren't any other artists that I can say I love everyone of there songs but merle is number one here on the eastern shore
Clint Strong sure is something special on lead guitar. So is Merle. Now his son Noah is playing with Pops, & I'm sure Noah sat and played guitar with Clint a bit in days gone by. These guys are American Treasures!
Is there a better country musician than Merle Haggard?? Guitar, fiddle...and that baritone voice. Like honey sliding down into a 20 year bourbon. Very few, I'd bet. Glen Campbell comes to mind.
Nope, no one comes even close. You could exclude his best hundred songs from the competition and he would still win hands down. I've been into him for a couple of years but still discover brilliant songs I'd never heard before.
Merle Haggard rules!!!!! Country at it's best!!!!

Merle Haggard's Singing. Also Love His Hat & Jackets. Would Love to see
Noel Lee & Ben Haggard wear one of Their Daddy's Hats.
He pours out his heart and sole in every song he sings...Love the Hag

OMG I love this song. Merle is the best.
+JoAnn StYES HE IS THE BEST aats
One of my favorite Merle songs for sure...This song was originally released on his 1983 album called "That's the Way Love Goes".
Check out my version of that song, www.reverbnation.com/control_room/artist/4081132/dashboard
merle haggard and clint eastwood shaped the image of what i liked in men the most, it's the testosterone they release.simply the best
This song reminds me of me and my 2nd wife in Dallas in the early 80s. His words were my words, and he said them with music.

sdsurferinvestor I especially like that he played the RECORDED solo note for note. That's what I'd pay to hear. Great job.
Great song Merle you are the best
love you Merle
I think it's awesome as well.. ;)

+Adolph Oliver Bush He is country.
+Adolph Oliver Bush Glen Campbell doesn't even come close!
Celtic Joan
Glen is good, very very good. Stating other than that is just opinion.
De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum
+Adolph Oliver Bush Merle said of Glen Campbell, " he's got too much talent". Mighty high praise from his peer.
Love this song. Good rhythm and beat.
he just swims through those notes on the guitar. smooth....
What am I gonna do without you Merle, I'm crying ;-/
Amazing!!
Love that fiddle beginning at 3:10 . . . really sweet
love you Merle
i would say the best singers of all time are Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard
Beautiful.
Todays country wouldn't even make a pimple on this man.
1:40 - 2:25 Clint Strong is one of the Best guitar players going...
just great music
Enjoyed.
The voice.
what a song......gotta love The Merle Haggard...!!
Got me to thinking.
Great Guitar Work !
Great song
THis is great! If you ever get a chance to watch Austin City Limits 1985 he does an even more Killer version of this song
@Buddyhall04 hey, if it wasn't for Hag, you wouldn't see the moon every night...lol
They just don't make em like that anymore...
GOTA LOVE THE, HAG.
I'd hate to be teen wolf trying to be Hag...damn Hag put that guy on ice
@BuffMBA AGREED!!
me i don't rate cash but haggard, jones and jennings can't be beat
i have to agree, cash a big no for me. but haggard, jennings and jones simply awesome
He is my favorite, however he seems as if he is either drinking or smoking. Guitar strap is on backwards. Seems a bit confused.
you forgot WAYLON
