Merle Haggard - I'd Rather Be Gone lyrics

I feel like a stranger in this home I built for you And I can't understand this awful change you're going through But lately, I've been watching you grow colder every day And I'd rather be gone, than in your way I'd rather be gone, than in your way I'd rather see someone else here, in my place

And if I decide on leaving, my world will end today But I'd rather be gone, than in your way I'd rather be gone, than in your way I'd rather see someone else here, in my place And if I decide on leaving, my world will end today But I'd rather be gone, than in your way I'd rather be gone
