Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

I'll Always Be Glad to Take You Back

After you have finished all your running round

And you find the cards against you stacked

After you are weary and so sick inside

I'll always be glad to take you back

After life has taught you dear who really care

After all the rest is through with you

Just give me a ring and you will find me here

Waiting as I've always done for you

Though they tell me that you have strayed dear

That you're traveling on that other side

But after all they just don't really know you

I'll always be glad to take you back

After it's all over and yourself you find

Even though there's silver in your hair

You can bet the world that I won't let you down

If you will only say that you still care

I just can't believe that you stopped loving me

I feel it deep within this heart of mine

I'm praying for the day that you'll come back to me

It's up to you, I'm willing anytime

Though they tell me that you have strayed dear

That you're traveling on that other side

After all they just don't really know you

I'll always be glad to take you back
