" "Look at the past 25 years — we went downhill, and if people don't realize it, they don't have their fucking eyes on.

Additional quotes by Merle Haggard
I've lived through 17 stays in penal institutions. Incarceration in a penitentiary. Five marriages, a bankruptcy, a broken back, brawls, shooting incidents, swindlings, sickness, the death of loved ones and more. I've heard tens of thousands chant my name when I couldn't hear the voice of my own soul. I wondered if God was listening and I was sure no one else was.
