Today I Started Loving You Again Lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard

Today I started loving you again
And I’m right back where I’ve really always been
I got all over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I’ve cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that cryin’ time for me had just begun

Today I started loving you again
And I’m right back where I’ve really always been
I got all over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And then today I started loving you again

Today I started loving you again
And I’m right back where I’ve really always been
I got all over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And then today I started loving you again

The Way I Am Lyrics

Wish I were down on some blue bayou
With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand
But the road I’m on don’t seem to go there
So I just dream and keep on bein’ the way I am

Wish I’d enjoyed what makes my living
Did what I do with a willing hand
Some would run, oh, but that ain’t like me
So I’ll just dream and keep on bein’ the way I am

The way I am, don’t fit my shackles
The way I am, reality
I can almost see that bobber dancin’
So I’ll just dream and keep on bein’ the way I am

The way I am, don’t fit my shackles
The way I am, reality
I can almost see that bobber dancin’
So I’ll just dream and keep on bein’ the way I am
I’ll just dream and keep on bein’ the way I am

Mama’s Hungry Eyes Lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard

A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
Stands out in this memory I revile
My daddy raised a family there with two hard working hand
And tried to feed my mamas hungry eyes.

He dreamed of something better and my mama’s faith was stong
Us kids were just to young to realize
That another class of people put us somewhere just below
One more reason for my mama’s hungry eyes.

Mama, never had the luxury she wanted
But it wasn’t ’cause my daddy didn’t try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my mama’s hungry eyes.

I remember mama praying for a better way of life
But I don’t recall a change of any size
Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show
And more sadness in my mama’s hungry eyes.

Mama never had the luxury she wanted
But it wasn’t ’cause my daddy didn’t try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my mama’s hungry eyes.

Oh, I still recall my mama’s hungry eyes…

It’s Not Love (But It’s Not Bad) Lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard and The Strangers

She was always there each time I needed you
Holding on to me like I held on to you
We still don’t have what you and I once had
No, it’s not love, but it’s not bad

No, it’s not love, not like ours was
It’s not love, but it keeps love from driving me mad
And I don’t have to wonder who she’s had
No, it’s not love, but it’s not bad

I turn to her when you leave me alone
Sometimes even when you’re here, and you’re still gone
She’s slowly changing what you leave so sad
No, it’s not love, but it’s not bad

No, it’s not love, not like ours was
It’s not love but it keeps love from driving me mad
I don’t have to wonder who she’s had
No, it’s not love, but it’s not bad

No, it’s not love, not like ours was
It’s not love but it keeps love from driving me mad
And I don’t have to wonder who she’s had
No, it’s not love, but it’s not bad

Swinging Doors Lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson

This old smoke filled bar is something I’m not used to
But I gave up my home to see you satisfied
And I just called to let you know where I’ll be living
It’s not much but I feel welcome here inside

And I’ve got swinging doors, a jukebox and a bar stool
And my new home has a flashing neon sign
Stop by and see me any time you want to
‘Cause I’m always here at home till closing time

I’ve got everything I need to drive me crazy
And I’ve got everything it takes to lose my mind
And in here, the atmosphere’s just right for heartaches
And thanks to you I’m always here till closing time

And I’ve got swinging doors, a jukebox and a bar stool
And my new home has a flashing neon sign
Stop by and see me any time you want to
‘Cause I’m always here at home till closing time
I’m always here at home till closing time

The Cowboy Rides Away Lyrics

I knew the stakes were high right from the start
When she dealt the cards, I dealt my heart
Now I just found a game that I can’t play
And this is where the cowboy rides away

And my heart is sinkin’ like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I’d done
It’s time to say goodbye to yesterday
And this is where the cowboy rides away

We’ve been in and out of love and in-between
And now we play the final showdown scene
And as the credits roll, a sad song starts to play
And this is where the cowboy rides away

And my heart is sinkin’ like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I’d done
Oh, the last goodbye’s the hardest one to say
This is where the cowboy rides away

Oh, the last goodbye’s the hardest one to say
This is where the cowboy rides away

Under the Bridge Lyrics

Merle Haggard

I lost my job in Saginaw working on the railroad
After twenty years they just put me on the side
Now I’m hungry in the street with no place to hang my hat
And nothin’ but an empty dream to ride

But under the bridge, I can make believe I’m living in a castle
Under the bridge, my baby and me
And I can pretend that I’m a king and this is my kingdom
Under the bridge making believe

Hey, the doors are always open to any old weary traveler
And you’ll find some great grub feedin’ here below
Any old bridge can be a palace, call it what you want to
It’s a place to be when you got no place to go

Under the bridge, I can make believe I’m living in a castle
Under the bridge, my baby and me
And I can pretend I’m a king, this is my kingdom
Under the bridge making believe
Hey, under the bridge making believe

When Did You Stop Loving Me

George Strait

When did you stop loving me?
How long have I been a memory?
I’ve gotta know for my own sanity
Tell me when did you stop loving me?

Was it that night that you stayed out until dawn?
You know that night has haunted me for so long
Or was your love already cold?
Tell me please, I’ve gotta know
Darling, when did you stop loving me?

There was a time when you worshiped where I stood
Heaven knows I’d bring it back if I could
Now I can tell when we make love
It ain’t me you’re thinking of
Tell me when did you stop loving me?

Darling when did you stop loving me?

All My Ex’s Live in Texas Lyrics

All my ex’s live in Texas
And Texas is the place I’d dearly love to be
But all my ex’s live in Texas
And that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee

Rosanna’s down in Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen’s in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And Allison’s in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimple’s who now lives in Temple’s
Got the law looking for me

All my ex’s live in Texas
And Texas is the place I’d dearly love to be
But all my ex’s live in Texas
And that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee

I remember that old Frio River
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight

All my ex’s live in Texas
And Texas is the place I’d dearly love to be
But all my ex’s live in Texas
Therefore I reside in Tennessee

Some folks think I’m hidin’
It’s been rumored that I died
But I’m alive and well in Tennessee

Every Little Honky Tonk Bar Lyrics

Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
Ice creates the water that’s no longer runnin’ under it
Stool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his broken heart
Cigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyes
The jukebox plays Hank, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”
Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who they are
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar

Friday night, it’s a given
I’ll be L-I-V-N, livin’
We’ll dance on the bar ’til we’re sleeping it off in the car
Monday morning, it’s a given
I’ll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin’
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar

Neon lights flashing bright ’til you’re almost hypnotized
Waitress, short skirt, gets hit on by every guy
Comin’ and goin’, always rollin’ with the flow
Bartender, pour our drinks; Código, do a shot
You think you’re tall and bulletproof until somebody says you’re not
You step outside thinkin’ you’re gonna show ’em you are
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar

Friday night, it’s a given
We’ll be L-I-V-N, livin’
We’ll dance on the bar ’til we’re sleeping it off in the car
Monday morning, it’s a given
We’ll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin’
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Yeah, that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar

Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
