Merle Haggard - Going Where the Lonely Go

Don Williams - Good Ole Boys Like Me

When I was in school I ran with kid down the street
But I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed
But I was smarter than most and I could choose
Learned to talk like the man on the six o'clock news
When I was eighteen, Lord, I hit the road
But it really doesn't matter how far I go

The children's prayed, the preacher's preached
The time of mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet so you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw so you can't talk
Close your eyes so you can't see
This very hour come go with me
'Tis Death, I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To drop the flesh off of the frame
The earth and worms both have a claim

One I had a darling sweetheart
And she thought the world of me
Untill another man persuaded
And she cares no more for me
I don't want your green back dollar
I don't want your watch and chain
All I want is you, my darling
