I love some Haggard.  I think Misery and Gin is one of the best country songs of all time.





Merle picks a pretty good guitar also.

I like him and I'm not even a big fan of C&W music. The C&W stuff I do like it the more traditional stuff like Merle, Willie Nelson, George Jones, etc.

Thats why there was the little wink thingy there, refrence humor regarding the line in the song about not having to call him Merl Haggard anymore.....

He was kinda Meh for me till I moved up here & heard all the stories (Like how he would fly in an ultra light with Binocs & walkie talky or have spies fly around lake Shasta (He owned Silverthorn Resort)  and report back where the Hot women were swimming ,& Camping and he would rush over there in his Giant Houseboat with a v8 engine in each pontoon ...

Merle Haggard is the man. His 'If I Could Only Fly' album is an unsung gem of country music. Highly recommend it.

The Parties at Silverthorn were legendary , I plan on a Book about it (Good friend  is Former President of his Fan Club up here)

Best C&W artist ever.

I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'.
An' I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.
They love our milk an' honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin'.
When they're runnin' down my country, hoss,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

I turned 21 in prison doin life without parole. In a hundred years from now they'll be playing classic country and this new stuff nobody will know or care about,

I like Mr. Hag a lot. He has a great country music voice. Like so many other genuinely talented folks, his music will be listened to long after he is gone.

Hell yes!!

I hear people talkin' bad,





About the way we have to live here in this country,





Harpin' on the wars we fight,





An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.





An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,





An' standin' up for things they believe in.





When they're runnin' down my country, man,





They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.





Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.





Runnin' down the way of life,





Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.





If you don't love it, leave it:





Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.





If you're runnin' down my country, man,





You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

"Are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell
 With no kinda chance for the flag, or the liberty bell"

The Hag was a fuckin' prophet
