Merle Haggard
I'm just writin' about my little ol' love affair.
Merle Haggard
We're turning into the society that is accepting the force-feed. I don't quite understand why we're going for the things we're going for. There's no process of elimination anymore in music.

Merle Haggard
I don't think there's ever been a friendly divorce.
Merle Haggard
