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 »

Be close to me but please don't ever love me
Don't let your feelings carry you that far
I'll hold you in my arms, buy you clothes and pretty charms
And I'll give you everything except my love

Because there's too many bridges to cross over
Too many places I ain't been
Yeah, there's too many fields of tempting clover
Like an eagle, I'm a prisoner of the wind

Well traveling was the nickname of my papa
And mama said he died 'cause he slowed down
Keep in mine these things I'm saying
'Cause I ain't got the time to staying
Won't be long until my shoes touch distant ground

Because there's too many bridges to cross over
Too many places I ain't been
Yeah, there's too many fields of tempting clover
Like an eagle, I'm a prisoner of the wind
