Haggard (like I've Never Been Before) Lyrics


Merle Haggard Haggard (like I've Never Been Before)


Singing in a honky tonk, working for the door.

And missing you a thousand ways, or maybe more.

Lately, I can't justify the whole thing anymore.

And I'm haggard, like I've never been before.



Livin' on the road today, don't have the same appeal.

Hey, nothing like it used to be, only the pain is real.

Lonelyness, that we go through ain't worth it anymore.

So I'm haggard, like I've never been before.



My woman young, and lovely, she wants to hold me tight.

Hey, and I'm out here in a honky tonk, screamin' every
night.

Now she's something special, not to mention, the
children I adore.

And I'm haggard, like I've never been before.

And I'm haggard, like I've never been before.
