I'm praying for rain in California. So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine. And I'm a sittin' at a honky'n in Chicago. With a broken heart and a woman on my mind.
LIFE IN PRISON. (Merle Haggard). '64 Owen Publications, BMI. . The jury found the verdict first degree. They swore I planned her death to be. I prayed they sentence me to die.
Well it really has been nice bein' with you but I'm afraid that I've got to leave. As you know I'm a rodeo cowboy and there's a rodeo down in Mesquite.
Somehow things just never came together. Fate had different plans for you and me. Love used to be the most important thing in life. But life's just not the way it used to be.
Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight. Let's play the games we played on our wedding night. To lock and bolt the door is only right. Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight.
Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight. Let's play the games we played on our wedding night. To lock and bolt the door is only right. Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight.
[Chorus]. When Leonard finally came to California. He was twenty-one years old, as I recall. He loved to write a song and pick on the guitar. And he came to hang a gold one on the wall.
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend. And what have I done that has made you so distant and cold. Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again.
Do the mornin's still come early, are the nights not long enough?. Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch?. Well, it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know.
Lucky strike and a honkey tonk. Chicken fryin' on a chicken bone. Tennessee moonshiner. Cookin' that copper line. Granny drunk playin' Bingo. Yellin' out B-99.
I bless the day I found you. I want to stay around you. And so I beg you, let it be me. . Don't take this heaven from one. If you must cling to someone.
Lonestar is fading into the shadows. Standing there waiting for something to say. But she's so impatient she might not see him. The chance of a lifetime could be slipping away.
I been losin' my mind, one love at a time. Gettin' up just to be knocked down. But with all of that pain I come back again. And I always go one more round.
Hold me like there's no next time. Like it's the last time you'll have the chance to. Show me how much you want me. Like I'm the only thing that matters.
When we can't find the time to spend. Bein' lovers and best of friends. When we can't seem to make it work. When we can't find the words. . Love will, love will, love will, love will.
I remember when kissing you would take all night. Love was new back then, the moment was always right. I apologize, I can't believe how long it's been.
I can't see you. But I can feel. Like a scar that. Just won't heal. Blue-eyed gypsy. You're still with me. . Everywhere I go. Lonely. Won't leave me alone.

All these little victories, yeah. All these little victories, yeah. . Look at the angel high up above the ground. She must've burned her wings now afraid to come down.
Half of this morning and most of last night. I've been taking tally on the last years of my life. I've been pretty righteous but God only knows. A couple of calls were not even close.
