More quotes by Merle Haggard
It sounds like something from a Woody Guthrie song, but it's true I was raised in a freight car.
Merle Haggard
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee, we don't take trips on LSD. We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street, we like living right and free.
Merle Haggard
I'm proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee, a place where even squares can have a ball. We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse and white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
Merle Haggard
I've got two families.
Merle Haggard
Lay in the weeds and wait, and when you get your chance to say something, say something good.
Merle Haggard
We need to have music that contributes to the well-being of the spirit. Music that cradles people's lives and makes things a little easier. That's what I try to do, and what I want to do. You don't want to close the door on hope.
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. They have these grooming schools, these things, and they're turning out these clones, and the music is sounding so refined that it's not even interesting.
Merle Haggard
'Cause I was already a smoker, it was easy to get addicted. The one thing that they don't teach you about marijuana is how addictive it is.
Merle Haggard
Read about some squirrelly guy who claims that he just don't believe in fighting, and I wonder how long the rest of us can count on being free.
Merle Haggard
Sometimes if you get 'em too drunk they don't pay no attention to what you're doin' anyways, so you might as well just do old songs. But if you get one that's paying attention, sometimes we'll do some new material.
Merle Haggard
I'm just writin' about my little ol' love affair.
Merle Haggard
At my age, I don't buy but a half a loaf of bread, you know?
Merle Haggard
I don't think there's ever been a friendly divorce.
Merle Haggard
HAG Records, is a company that I've owned. I've had a couple of gospel releases on it. We developed a pretty good distribution setup there and we do have something to use in case they don't want to sign us.
Merle Haggard
In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available... in America right now.
Merle Haggard
There's two kind of cherries, and two kind of fairies, and two kind of mothers I'm told.
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.
Merle Haggard
Momma tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied, and that leaves only me to blame, cause Momma tried.
Merle Haggard
It makes my wife mad, you know, she wants me to stay home all the time. But its what I've done all my life and I think when I quit doing it I'll probably go away pretty quick.
Merle Haggard
If I had a choice, and there was a Y in the road, I would always take the one that was more fun as opposed to the one that might make me more money.
