American country singer - after time spent in prison he became a country singer - his first album was "Same Train, Different Time: A Tribute to Jimmie Rodgers". Perhaps Merle came to prominence to many in 1966 with 'Swinging Doors' and 'The Bottle Let Me Down'. Although not his first hits, they were among three hits he had that year in the Top Ten. Later hits followed, including 'Branded Man', 'I Threw Away the Rose', 'Mama Tried', 'Today I Started Loving You Again', 'Working Man Blues', 'The Fightin' Side of Me', 'Okie from Muskogee' and 'If We Make It Through December'. The last two songs seem also to have had a major impact in America.

I Don't Want To Sober Up Tonight Lyrics
Merle Haggard
I don't want to sober up tonight
I don't want to act like things are alright
And I don't want to change just to make you think I'm happy
That's my right, I don't want to sober up tonight
I want to keep my mind a little hazy
I don't care if all my friends think I'm crazy
The way I treat myself I might be a little crazy
But that's alright, I don't want to sober up tonight
I'm here to drown another day of misery
I'm in here to spend one night without a mem'ry
And the way I'm drinkin' now there won't be any memory
But that's alright, I don't want to sober up tonight
I don't want to sober up tonight
I don't want to act like things are alright
I don't want to change just to make you think I'm happy
That's alright, I don't want to sober up tonight
