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 »

You always find the way to hurt my pride 
If I'm not crying you're not satisfied
And I don't know why you want to hurt me so
If you're tryin' to break my heart 
You don't have very far to go
You don't have very far to go 
Before the heartache begins
I already feel the sadness 
Of a heartbreak settin' in
I don't know why you want to hurt me so
If you're tryin' to break my heart 
You don't have very far to go

You don't have very far to go 
Before the heartache begins
I already feel the sadness 
Of a heartbreak settin' in
You're turnin' down 
The flame of love too low
And if you're tryin' to break my heart 
You don't have very far to go
