Текст песни The Day Merle Haggard Died - Tony Justice

Well i caught this ramblin' fever as a child long ago
Out riding with my dad across this country down in this lonesome roads
Where i learned about a weakness down within my soul
There i am tonight still chasing these
Old white lines, counting high line poles
I was driving through Muskogee, the day Merle haggard died
Had to keep these big wheels rolling
No time to stop and cry
So i just keptmovin' on and i was breaking down inside
I was driving though Muskogee, Oklahoma, the Merle Haggard died
I tuned into wheels road house, they played his songs all day long
Jammin' gears and swaying to the rythem as the hag sang me back home
If we make it through December, to the fighting side of me
Bet he saw his momma's hungry eyes as he rode off on silver wings
I was driving through Muskogee, the day Merle haggard died
Had to keep these big wheels rolling
No time to stop and cry
So i just kept movin' on and i was breaking down inside
I was driving though Muskogee, Oklahoma, the Merle Haggard died
Tonight he's riding with me, his music's still alive
I driving through Muskogee, Oklahoma USA, the day Merle Haggard died
