Merle Haggard — Learning To Live With Myself

[Verse] 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 pray [Verse] And it's hard to handle the loneliness Harder to maintain my health Till he gives me my call The hardest of all Will be learning to live with myself [Chorus] 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 [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse] 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
