Merle Haggard - A Shoulder to Cry On lyrics

I came here because I knew I'd be welcome And because somehow you always understand You seem to have a way with lonely people And you always were my greatest helping hand Now once again I'm here to take advantage Though I don't deserve the arms I left alone I need to know there's someone who still loves me And I need a shoulder to cry on I overlooked the love you tried so hard to give The love I never seemed to understand I always stay just long enough to hurt you And what little love I gave was second hand Now once again I'm here to take advantage 'Cause once again the one I love is gone I need to know there's someone who still loves me And I need a shoulder to cry on I need to know there's someone who still loves me And I need a shoulder to cry on
