And I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried
mama tried
mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
that leaves me only me to blame cause mama tried

Very sad day. I grew up listening to Merle Haggard and till this day, he was my favorite County music singer.

Here's to a true legend, and true country music. They don't make 'em, or play it, like they used to. Rest in peace Mr. Haggard.

Saw Merle and Willie last year at Whitewater. They were supposed to play again and two weeks, but, a few weeks back I noticed Merle was replaced with Ryan Bingham. Sad to hear

He really didn't feel the sentiment expressed in that song, with the exception of feeling bad about Vietnam vets getting treated badly coming back home- it was written after driving through Muskogee and he was postulating as to what the folk in town were like, and it was kind of satire

Merle is one of my dad's favorite artists. Heard a lot of him growing up.

He wrote it when he got out of prison and also how everyone was protesting the war and not respecting freedom.

People are trying to grieve here. Why do you have to bring your "dates" into the discussion?
