Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Haggard (Like I've Never Been Before)

Singing in a honky tonk, working for the door

And missing you a thousand ways or maybe more

Lately I can't justify the whole thing anymore

And I'm haggard like I've never been before

Livin' on the road today don't have the same appeal

Hey, nothing's like it used to be, only the pain is real

Loneliness that we go through ain't worth it anymore

So I'm haggard like I've never been before

My woman young and lovely, she wants to hold me tight

Hey, and I'm out here in a honky tonk screamin' every night

Now she's something special, not to mention the children I adore

And I'm haggard like I've never been before

Yeah, I'm haggard like I've never been before
