Текст Vince Gill – A World Without Haggard
Текст:
I was on the road in Georgia
When I heard Merle had passed away
Hell, I thought he’d live forever
He saved every note I played
These old white lines look different
Then they usually do
He was my greatest inspiration
The reason why I sing the blues
Taught me how to play the guitar and write a country song
As a kid he went to prison for the thing he done wrong
Made me proud to be an Okie
God knows we paid our dues
He was my greatest inspiration
The reason why I sing the blues
Then they usually do
He was my greatest inspiration
The reason why I sing the blues
Taught me how to play the guitar and write a country song
As a kid he went to prison for the thing he done wrong
Made me proud to be an Okie
God knows we paid our dues
He was my greatest inspiration
The reason why I sing the blues
Oh I’m lost in a world without Haggard
Who’ll tell the truth to you and me
Oh I’m lost in a world without Haggard
It’s a world I thought I would never see
Gave his life to country music
He’s the best that’s ever been
Was an honest voice of reason
Like we won’t see again
If I was down to my last song
It’s Merle that I would choose
He was my greatest inspiration
The reason why I sing the blues
