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 Think I'm Gonna Live Forever Lyrics
Merle Haggard
When you first left me baby
I thought I would surely lose my mind
Every day of life was just another day gone by
Well you really had me down in a deep depression
I wanted real bad just to crawl off and die
But now... I think I'm gonna live forever
Hey dyin' ain't on my list of things to do
I think I'm gonna live forever
Hey it feels so good to be out of love with you
Hey babe you left me hangin'
Just tryin' to aggravate me all the way
And you got it done just the way you always do
But all you really did was aggravate me
'Cause I got my health and I got over you
But now... I think I'm gonna live forever
Hey dyin' ain't on my list of things to do
I think I'm gonna live forever
Hey it feels so good to be out of love with you
