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 »

Well it really has been nice bein' with you but I'm afraid that I've got to leave
As you know I'm a rodeo cowboy and there's a rodeo down in Mesquite
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy breakin' broncs or gettin' broke
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy and that's the only life I know
On the day you think your day is the big one
I'm walkin' away with all that they own
Then your lyin' hurtin' hearin' someone saying
Give him a hand that's all that cowboy is taking home
Hot beer and cold stale hamburgers makes a meal sorta hard to enjoy
And it kinda makes you think of momma's chicken
Ah that's the life of a rodeo cowboy
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy

When your down and your really feeling sorry well you go for a drink in some bar
Then someone points at you and you hear him whisper over there stands a rodeo star
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy...
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy...
