Merle Haggard - Learning to Live with Myself lyrics

I learned how to live with my darling God took my darling away Down through the years He took all my peers Left me here and to play It's hard to handle the loneliness Harder to maintain my health 'Til He gives me my call, the hardest of all Will be learning to live with myself Learning to live with myself A lesson that's so hard to learn Even locked down in a prison There's a cellmate with friendship to earn It's harder to face up to the mirror Leave all the habits on the shelf Until He gives me my call, the hardest of all Will be learning to live with myself Learning to live with myself A lesson that's so hard to learn Even locked down in a prison There's a cellmate with friendship to earn And it's harder to face up to the mirror Leave all the habits on the shelf Until He gives me my call, the hardest of all Will be learning to live with myself
