Merle Haggard - Best Of The '90s, Volume 1

I Am An Island

They say no man is an island, that's all I hear from my old friends
They say I should forget you and learn to love again
But I don't need nobody trying to tell me what to do
And I don't want nobody else if I can't have you

I am an island, I just want to be alone
Time means nothing to a stone, I am an island
I am an island, I'm driftin' on the sea
'Til you come back to me, I am an island

I've boarded up the windows, locked and bolted all the doors
I don't want nobody coming 'round to see me anymore
I just wanna hold your picture, lose my mind in your sweet perfume
Sit here in the shadows starin' out the window of our room

I am an island, I just want to be alone
Time means nothing to a stone, I am an island
I am an island, I'm driftin' on the sea
'Til you come back to me, I am an island
I am an island, I just want to be alone
Time means nothing to a stone, I am an island
I am an island, I'm driftin' on the sea
'Til you come back to me, I am an island
