My Own Kind Of Hat … thanks to Mr. Haggard We lost Mr. Haggard back on April 6th of this year. Dad had a young co-worker that commented on it and she asked dad if he liked Merle’s music … dad chuckled and told her a few Merle stories. That evening he sent her a handful of YouTube links of some of the songs and interviews that she was probably unaware of … along with the link[i] to this song (it’s one of dad’s favorite Merle songs!). |

Some Merle’isms that we ran across: |

Lay in the weeds and wait, and when you get
your chance to say something, say something good.

It makes my wife mad, you know, she wants me to stay home
all the time. But it’s what
I've done all my life and I think when I quit doing it I'll probably
go away pretty quick. Merle Haggard
I enjoy the videos with the sound off, where you can look
at the belly buttons and everything.
Really some pretty girls, but I don't know about the music. Merle Haggard . If I hear another line dance song I think
I'm going to puke.

My second wife Bonnie Owens and I worked together after we
divorced for a period of maybe 20 years.
And I managed to stay friends
with another wife. And then
there's one that I don't mess with. Everybody's
got one of those.
. We are under [government's] control, and if
people don't realize that, they haven't looked around.
And if they're not paranoid,
they haven't thought about it.
Merle Haggard Heaven knows that alcohol is the worst
thing in the world, but it's debatable whether cocaine is worse than
caffeine or whether it's the same thing and they just changed the
name.

Willie Nelson's the one who told me the
reason it costs so much to get divorced is because it's worth it.
