My legs and my feet 
Have walked 'till they can't hardly move from tryin' to please you
And my back is sore 
From bendin' over backwards to just lay the world at your door.

I've tried so hard to keep a smile on a sad face while deep down 
It's breakin' my heart 
And as sure as the sunshines I'll be a lifetime 
Not knowin' if I've done my part

'Cause You Take Me For Granted And it's breakin' my heart 
As sure as the sunshines I'll be a lifetime 
Not knowin' if I've done my part.

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 »
