"Okie from Muskogee"

[shadoedseptmbr]

there are no perfect lyrics but the closest is still

the dust that Pancho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth

Merle Haggard with Janie Fricke performing "A Place To Fall Apart". _______________________ A Place To Fall Apart Songwriters: Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and Freddy Powers

I'll probably never see you eye to eye again This letter's meant to be my last farewell But you need to understand I'm nearly crazy You need to know my life has gone to hell

Write me back and tell me why it ended Send a letter that I can show my heart I'll be somewhere between I love you And what you're feeling now Lookin' for a place to fall apart

Looking for a place to fall apart Trying to find a place that I can leave my heart I need to be somewhere hidin' When I feel the teardrops start Lookin' for a place to fall apart

I can't seem to justify your leavin' me I'm bewildered as to how it all came down I thought everything was fine until your phone call The call that turned my world around

Send me word and tell me why it ended I need some final proof to show my heart I'll be somewhere between I love you And what you're feelin' now Lookin' for a place to fall apart

"Living on the road, my friend, was gonna keep you free and clean/Now you wear your skin like iron and your breath's as hard as kerosene"

The way Townes establishes the setting, the feelings of bittersweet nostalgia and loss, of dreams that were shattered by reality, in just two simple lines that don't even make a mention of the characters or story of the song itself? JFC Bob Dylan could never. Townes is an absolute genius.

I've been listening to oldies all day and i knew my coworker liked Patsy Cline so I was telling her about some that I've been listening to that are adjacent to her and she made a face and told me she actually hates oldies and only likes new country music. this like 55+ year old woman, looked at me, a 23 year old, and called me weird because I said Johnny Cash was one of my all time favorites. hello????

Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard ~ It's All Going to Pot !!! (Official Video)

Well, it’s all going to pot Whether we like it or not Best I can tell The world’s gone to hell And we’re sure gonna miss it a lot

All of the whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee Just couldn't hit the spot I gotta’ hundred dollar bill, friend You can keep your pills Cause it’s all going to pot

That cackle-bobble-head-in-a-box Must think I'm dumb as a rock Readin' daily news While I'm kickin' off my shoes It's scarin' me outta’ my socks

The Red Headed Stranger I'm not But buddy, let me tell you what If ysk ol' Will He'll tell ya here's the deal Friends, it's all goin' to pot

Well, it’s all going to pot Whether we like it or not Best I can tell The world’s gone to hell And we’re all gonna miss it a lot

All the whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee Just couldn't hit the spot I gotta’ hundred dollar bill You can keep your pills, friend Cause it’s all goin' to pot

~ ♫♪♫ ~

Well I thought I had found me a girl Sweetest little thing in the world But all my jokes went up in smoke When I caught her makin eyes at Merle

He said, sweet little honey With her eye on your money She's gonna take every penny you got I said she's never gonna get it Cause I've already spent it Merle, It's all goin' to pot

It’s all going to pot Whether we like it or not Best I can tell The world’s gone to hell And we’re all gonna miss it a lot

All the whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee Just couldn't hit the spot I gotta’ hundred dollar bill You can keep your pills, friend It’s all going to pot I gotta’ hundred dollar bill You can keep your pills, friend Cause it’s all goin' to pot

Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson - Pancho and Lefty (Video)

[kvetchlandia]

Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard Pancho and Lefty, Live 2007

...Pancho was a bandit boy His horse was fast as polished steel He wore his gun outside his pants For all the honest world to feel

Pancho met his match you know On the deserts down in Mexico Nobody heard his dying words Ah but that's the way it goes

All the Federales say They could have had him any day They only let him slip away Out of kindness, I suppose

Lefty, he can't sing the blues All night long like he used to The dust that Pancho bit down south Ended up in Lefty's mouth

The day they laid poor Pancho low Lefty split for Ohio Where he got the bread to go There ain't nobody knows

All the Federales say They could have had him any day We only let him slip away Out of kindness, I suppose..."
