This man left this world not knowing he was one of the Greatest, Most Talented, Country Music singer/songwriters of ALL TIME!!! He Will Be Missed!!! RIP MR. Merle Haggard! God Bless!!!

Todays so called country music is an insult to real country

When the world turned away from god even music lost its soul ....music today mostly trash

im crying listening to this. MY POPS died yesterday. HE love the HAG and this song. He used to bring the 45rpm to my bedroom and beg me to play it on my stereo. I was a heavy metal teenager and NOT into this at all!! He loved the lyrics. Decades later i understood. RIP POPS. 1939-2024

Today’s so called country only wishes it was this good

We are now living in a self-centered world of; "the way I want to be seen". Which is saying that nobody's got any way about them anymore that's "real" ! Seems like there's no more positive values, Godly morals, hard work ethics, grit, gumption or determination. All the things Merle would sing about. Now it's mostly a country of entitlement, vanity, and the glamour of me, myself, and I on facebook. When Merle sings "the way I am", I believe he is referring to a way of life obtained from an old school upbringing that yielded the true character and conduct of a man or woman which results in the continued building up of a great Nation like we once had, and could have again if the generations to come will truly and seriously examine " the way they are" !

The way country music should sound.

I cry every time I hear this song. Will always always love Merle Haggard.

Why is he holding his cigarette like that?

Country music needs to get back to these days

When Merle rolls down for those low notes he evokes his inner Lefty. Its so fantastic. I'm lucky to have seen him live in small joints a couple of times.

Best voice God ever created! I get reverent whenever I hear him!

Always liked Merle's music, but only recently have come to realize just HOW great the man really was.

I love Merle Haggards songs since I was a kid and he is the best singer ever for 50 years and I still love his songs

The great Merle Haggard at his best!!!

Only one Merle. His voice is is one of a kind. R. I. P. Merle.

Merle didn't let them take control. That's why he had success did it his way. Yeah !!!

I have only just discovered WHAT an amazing Man Merle Haggard was!!! His Life Story, his song writing skills, his Songs and that Awesome Voice!!! Rest in Peace, Merle Haggard. You will Never be forgotten!! 💖💖💖💖💖

The Absolute #1 country singer of all time IMO, and this is one of my favorites.

The Great Merle Haggard sure do miss him.
