More quotes by Merle Haggard
Keep your opinions to yourself. I think it's important that I stay neutral on politics and remain hard to understand. I don't want to be pigeonholed as conservative, liberal, independent or anything. I back the man for the things the man believes in, not whether it says R or D down there beside his name.

Evolution is a laughing matter for anybody that's got a rational mind.

When I grew up there wasn't air-conditioning or anything of that nature, and this old car had a wall thickness of about ten inches. So we had a little warmer house in the winter and a little cooler in the summer.
Merle Haggard
It sounds like something from a Woody Guthrie song, but it's true I was raised in a freight car.

Merle Haggard
There's two kind of cherries, and two kind of fairies, and two kind of mothers I'm told.
Merle Haggard
No, it's not love, but it's not bad.
Merle Haggard
I've always known that I was a gifted person. ... I've always felt like I would be punished, severely, if I didn't continue to make use of that gift. It's very important that you don't let the muscle get flabby. It's really hard, as an old human being, to press as much weight as you pressed when you were a kid.
Merle Haggard
There's a rumor that there may be an attempt at organizing a possible script for a series on my life, which, when you look at my police record, you'd have to have more than one hour to tell the story.
Merle Haggard
The turn I made was not the one I planned. And I watched my social standing slip away from me, while I watched the bottle slowly take command.
Merle Haggard
Diana Krall knocks me out. I like jazz and I like her simple approach.
Merle Haggard
Heaven knows that alcohol is the worst thing in the world, but it's debatable whether cocaine is worse than caffeine or whether it's the same thing and they just changed the name.
Merle Haggard
By the time you get close to the answers, it's nearly all over.
Merle Haggard
At my age, I don't buy but a half a loaf of bread, you know?
Merle Haggard
The Captain just gave us our orders, and Mom we must carry them through. I'll finish this letter first chance I get, but for now I'll just say I love you.
