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, me and Roy Nichols and couple other fellows in the band
We got to talking it over and thought we’d take off a little time if we can 

I don’t mean to say I’m quitting, I’m just tired of making love to a telephone
I’m coming home if I can find me a flight this morning, man
The Okie from Muskogee is coming home

Play it, Ken
 
It has been twenty years of traveling
Twenty years of living out on the road
Learning these chords and learning these songs
Paying up all these dues they said I owe
 
And I may always be a rambler never lose the urge to roam
I’m coming home if I can find me a flight this morning, man
The Okie from Muskogee is coming home

Count it up, Marc
