Merle Haggard "Swinging Doors/I'm A Lonesome Fugitive/Sing Me Bac" |
Swinging Doors/I'm A Lonesome Fugitive/Sing Me Bac Swing Doors: (Merle Haggard) This ol' smoke filled bar is something I'm not used to But I gave up my home to see you satisfied I just called to let you know where I'll be livin' It's not much but I feel welcome here inside. And I got swinging doors a jukebox and a barstool And my new home has a flashing neon sign Stop by and see me anytime you want to Cause I'm always here at home till closin' time. Yeah, I'm always here till closin' time. I'm a Lonesome Fugitive: (Liz Anderson - Casey Anderson) Down every road there's always one more city Thank you I'm on the run the highway is my home I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days While mama used to pray my crops would fail Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways Outrun the law or spend my life in jail. I'd like to settle down but they won't let me A fugitive must be a rolling stone Down every road there's always one more city I'm on the run the highway is my home. --- Instrumental --- Sing Me Back Home: (Merle Haggard) The warden let the prisoner down the hallway to his doom I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell Let my guitar playing friend do my request. Let him sing me back home the song I used to hear Make my old mem'ries come alive And take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die. Sing me back home before I die. Branded ManL (Merle Haggard) One two three four. I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am But they won't let my secret go untold I paid the debt I owed 'em but they're still not satisfied Now I'm a branded man out in the cold. When they let me out of prison I held my head up high Determined I would rise above the shame But no matter where I travel a black mark follows me I'm branded with a number on my name. I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am But they won't let my secret go untold I paid the debt I owed 'em but they're still not satisfied Now I'm a branded man out in the cold...
