Merle Haggard — A Shoulder to Cry On

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 secondhand [Chorus] 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
