You stayed with me through thick and thin
Watched me lose, you watched me win
You picked me up off of the ground
You never one time let me down
And you put me on a natural high
And I can fly, I can fly
I was drowning in a sea of make-believe
As helpless as a falling leaf
You gave your hand to me that day
And you did it, ''cause you're made that way
And you put me on a natural high
And I can fly, I can fly

You always seem to let your feelings show
You love me and you let me know
Darling just remember these three words:
I love you, I love you
And you put me on a natural high
And I can fly, I can fly

And you put me on a natural high
And I can fly, I can fly

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 »
