Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

The Emptiest Arms In The World

I only call when I've had that one too many

And my lonely room goes spinning in a whirl

And tonight I couldn't even find my pillow

I've got the emptiest arms in the world.

I no longrer wear the gold band on my finger

And from time to time I find myself a girl

But when I realize that she's not who I'm holding

I've got the emptiest arms in the world.

Empty arms won't ever hold you close again

And these cheap hotels they're like a prison cell that keeps closin' in

And you alone can fill this lonely feelin'

Of the emptiest arms in the world.

And you alone can fill this empty feelin'

Of the emptiest arms in the world.
