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 »

Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord, it's killing me to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind

Yes, I know that I once loved her and I placed no one above her
And I never thought, I'd ever set her free
But it just wasn't in my plan, the way Linda squeezed my hand
The first time that I held her close as she danced with me

She said I've loved you for a long time but you're married to a friend of mine
And I tried hard to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger, I can't hide it any longer
And so I thought I'd better let you know

Now, I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord, it's killing me to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind
