Merle Haggard
Here I am alone
Strumming this guitar
At home on a Friday night
When I oughta be at the bar
I told all my friends
I needed time to think
But the truth of it is
Think I'll just stay here and drink
'Cause you're a memory I can't stop
A heartache on the jukebox
A hurting feeling when that needle
Drops down on the groove
You're the leaving in the story
You were good but no good for me
Mama tried to warn me you'd break my heart in two
Merle Haggard woulda wrote songs about you
If the whiskey in this bottle
Don't let me down
Might not get over you
But I'll gain a little ground
Somehow it feels like
The highs were worth the lows
I know I might sound crazy
Guess that's the way love goes
You're a memory I can't stop
A heartache on the jukebox
A hurting feeling when that needle
Drops down on the groove
You're the leaving in the story
You were good but no good for me
Mama tried to warn me you'd break my heart in two
Merle Haggard woulda wrote songs about you
Yeah, a good one, a sad one, wish I had you back one
When he sang those heartbroke songs sure sounds like he had one
You're a memory I can't stop
A heartache on the jukebox
A hurting feeling when that needle
Drops down on the groove
You're the leaving in the story
You were good but no good for me
Mama tried to warn me you'd break my heart in two
Merle Haggard woulda wrote songs about you
Merle Haggard woulda wrote songs about you
Strumming this guitar

A heartache on the jukebox
A hurting feeling when that needle
