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 »

Yeah I'm bringin' home some good news 
Got some things you'll be glad to hear
Like I'm leavin' town and won't be back 
Around just long enough to get my gear
There won't be any goodbye kisses 
Well I'm puttin' on my leavin' shoes
This is the end we're through it's over yeah
I'm bringin' home some good news

Well I was sittin' downtown in a tavern
And I made up my mind to go
And I knew you would be so glad to be free
I just thought to call you to let you know
Oh you can tell all your backdoor daddys 
That your big daddy's done blew a fuse
This is the end we're through it's over yeah 
I'm bringin' home some good news

To you I been known as bad news
Well I'm changin' my first name
And I'm givin' you your freedom baby
That old race won't kinda change
Yeah go to hide your lookman slippers
I won't be lookin' around for blues
This is the end we're through it's over 
Yeah I'm bringin' home some good news

Good news there's some good news for you honey
I'm bringin' home some good news
I'm bringin' home some good news honey
