Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Back To The Barrooms Again

Now it's back to the barrooms right back to drinking again

Maybe someday you'll love me enough to stay with me

And whisky won't be my best friend

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 here again

He should be given a prize for his patience

'Cause bartenders do understand

So it's back to the barrooms again.

With the loud music roaring the bartender pouring

And my shaky legs trying to stand

It's over and over I've tried to stay sober

But look what a failure I've been

'Cause now it's back to the barrooms again.

Yes, now it's back to the barrooms right back to drinking again

Maybe someday you'll love me enough to stay with me

And whisky won't be my best friend

Now it's back to the barrooms again.

Oh yes, it's back to the barrooms again...
