Missing Ol' Merle Haggard

Down every road there's always one more city
I’m on the run, the highway is my home.
I've got ramblin' fever of the running kind…
With no one to change my mind 
   but mama tried…
And the reasons to quit/ don't outnumber all the reasons why…

And now I live in the mountains
I drifted up here with the wind…
Listening to the wind
Trying to hear the voice of a distant friend…
To sing a little bit of these working man blues... 
Merle Haggard passed away last year on 6th April 2016. In his tribute I have come up with a playlist of my favorite songs by Merle. Click on this link: Merle Haggard playlist.
