Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

I Can't Stand Me

I can't stand me sine I lost you and I can't stand nobody else

I can't stand me since you went away and I gotta get away from myself

I used to be a high-stepper with a lot on the ball my friends all called me Ace

It took woman like you to bring a good man down

And make me ashamed to even show my face

I can't stand me since I lost you.

Oh when I look in the glass and see a grown man cry it makes me wanna hang my head

I used to feel real proud just to be aie but now I think I'd rather be dead

I can't stand me since I lost you.

I'm gonna find me a river about ten miles wide with a bridge right all way across

I'm gonna drag myself about half way over and then I'm gonna throw me off

I can't stand me since I lost you...

Yeah I gotta get away from myself
