Merle Haggard

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. more »

 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

Though I haven't got a penny to my name
I've got wealth beyond compare just the same
In my mind the greatest treasure there could be
Just to live the way I live because I'm free
I'm not bound to anyone that takes my time or pleasures that will pray up on my mind
And I walk the roads and do just as I please my life belongs to me cause I'm free
I'm free from social ties that tend to bind me
Or to live the life that wasn't meant for me
Competing for the things that have no meaning
I'm wealthy in my mind because I'm free

The ribbons of the land that keep me a knowing
There's always something new for me to see
A whistle in the wind then I'll be going to live the way I live because I'm free
Though I haven't got a penny
