Merle Haggard - Someday We'll Know

Copied!

You say you love me and is it starting to show
I say I love you and someday we'll know
Ours could be forever like the rivers that flow
But love is in question and someday we'll know

You say we're lucky and love is out of sight
And I say we're lucky if it lasts through the night
Ours could be forever or just a great one night show
But love is in question and someday we'll know

Someday we'll know which way to go and why
Someday we'll say it's been love all the way and both cry
Ours could be eternal like the rivers that flow
But love is in question and someday we'll know
Love is in question and I guess someday we'll know

Merle Ronald Haggard, born on April 6, 1937, in Oildale, California, was a legendary singer-songwriter in the world of country music. Growing up in a converted railroad boxcar in the midst of poverty, Haggard faced numerous challenges from a young age. After his father's death in 1945, he began a tumultuous journey that led him to encounters with the law.

His time in San Quentin prison in 1958 proved to be a turning point in his life. Inspired by Johnny Cash's performance there, Haggard taught himself to play the guitar and upon his release in 1960, he pursued a career in music. Encouraged by Cash to write about his own experiences, Haggard began crafting songs that reflected his past struggles and triumphs.

Through his music, Haggard became known for his honest and raw storytelling, earning him the title of the "poet of the common man." Alongside his band, he helped create the distinctive "Bakersfield Sound," characterized by its honky-tonk style and electric guitar.

Throughout his career, Haggard released over two dozen albums and had numerous chart-topping hits, including "Okie from Muskogee," "Mama Tried," and "It's All Going to Pot." He received numerous accolades for his contributions to country music, including four Grammy Awards, six Country Music Association Awards, and induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Haggard's influence on the country music scene is undeniable, with his legacy living on in the sounds of Outlaw Country music. He believed that the key to great country music was honesty, a principle that he embodied in both his life and his music.

Merle Haggard passed away on his 79th birthday, April 6, 2016, leaving behind a timeless legacy that continues to resonate with fans around the world.
