Learning To Live With Myself Lyrics

Merle Haggard Learning To Live With Myself

I learned how to live with my darling
God took my darling away
Down through the years
He took all my peers

Left me here and to play
It's hard to handle the loneliness
Harder to maintain my health

Til he gives me my call
Hardest of all
Will be Learning to live with myself

Learning to live with myself
A lesson that's so hard to learn
Even locked down in a prison
There is a cellmate with friendship to earn

It's harder to face up to the mirror
Leave all the habits on the shelf
Until he gives me my call
Hardest of all
Will be Learning to live with myself
