Well, I caught this rambling fever
As a child long ago
While riding with my dad across this country
Down endless, lonesome roads
Where I learned about a weakness
Down deep within my soul
There I am tonight still chasing these old white lines
And counting high line poles
I was driving through Muskogee
The day Merle Haggard died
Had to keep these big wheels rolling
No time to stop and cry
So, I just kept on moving on
As I was breaking down inside
I was driving though Muskogee
Oklahoma
The Merle Haggard died
I tuned into Willy's Roadhouse
They played his songs all day long
Jamming gears and swaying to the rhythm
As the Hagg sang me back home
From, if we make it through December
To, the fighting side of me
Bet, he saw his mama's hungry eyes
As he rode off on silver wings
I was driving through Muskogee
The day Merle Haggard died
Had to keep these big wheels rolling
No time to stop and cry
So, I just kept on moving on
But I was breaking down inside
I was driving though Muskogee
Oklahoma
The day Merle Haggard died
Tonight, he's riding with me
His music's still alive
I was driving through Muskogee
Oklahoma USA
The day Merle Haggard died
