Merle Haggard — No One To Sing For But The Band

[Verse] Once I had a girlfriend, she loved to hear me sing But I left her in Nashville, flew west on a silver plane My family can't kid me anymore They never really liked my songs before Now I'm all grown up and I'm a lonely man And there's no one to sing for but the band [Chorus] No, there's no one to sing for but the band They always say I'm singing grand But if you listen close, you'll understand Why there's no one to sing for but the band [Verse 2] I had a friend in Houston, thought I was something else She moved on to another town in spite of the way she felt My family can't kid me anymore They never really liked my songs before Now I'm all grown up, I'm a full-grown lonely man And there's no one to sing for but the band [Chorus] No, there's no one to sing for but the band They always say I'm doing grand But if you listen close, you'll understand Why there's no one to sing for but the band [Chorus] No, there's no one to sing for but the band They always say I'm singing grand But if you listen close you'll understand Why there's no one to sing for but the band
