Merle Haggard — Id Rather Be Gone

[Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] I'd rather be gone
