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 »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I've got a yearning to hold you tight at burning desire I live with day and night
Everything I lose keeps on hanging on
This feeling isn't leaving and by now it should be gone

I keep on thinking those thoughts that keep making me want you all the time
I should be trying to find me a way I can drive you from my mind
I know that you wanted to give and I know that you gave all you could
Wish I could accept what is over and done with for good
But I've got a yearning to hold you tight...

I've got a yearning to hold you tight...
I've got a yearning to hold you tight...
