Merle Haggard

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. more »

The long distance love affair, 
We just had on the phone, 
Left me with "Don't worry darlin', 
I'm on my way home."
So break out the champagne, 
We've got good love on the mend.
I know you're comin' tomorrow, 
I hope I can make it till Then.

I could be fishin', 
Or robbin' the sea of her shells.
Instead I'm here wishing for you, 
And feelin' like hell.
Watchin' my last day alone, 
Slowly come to an end.
I know you're comin' tomorrow, 
I hope I can make it till Then.

The last boat of the day, 
It comes and it goes.
The sun sets on the last chance, 
To hold you tonight, I suppose.
But you'll be on the next one, 
I hope I can make it till then.
