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 cares
After all the rest are 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 track
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've stopped loving me
I fear 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 track
After all, they just don't really know you
I'll always be glad to take you back
