The Day Merle Haggard Died Lyrics

We'll I caught this friendly fever
As a child long ago
I was riding with my dad across this country
Down endless lonesome roads
Where I learned to battle weakness
Down deep within my soul
Here I am tonight still chasing these ol white lines
Countin power line poles
I was driving through Muskogee
The day Merle haggard died
Had to keep these big wheels rollin
No time to stop and cry
So I just kept on movin on
But I was breaking down inside
I was driving the Muskogee Oklahoma
The day Merle haggard died
