More quotes by Merle Haggard
It's a long way from Graceland across Jordan to the Promised Land, but Jesus finally came to lead him home.
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.
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.

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
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
I've got two families.

I'm just writin' about my little ol' love affair.
Merle Haggard
My 10 year old son likes it. He's trying to play guitar and everything. He likes that kind of music.
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
No, it's not love, but it's not bad.
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
The only thing that I miss lately in all music is somebody that will put out a melody that you can whistle. It doesn't seem like there's anything happening like that.
Merle Haggard
I don't think there's ever been a friendly divorce.
Merle Haggard
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.

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.

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.
