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
This 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
