Merle Haggard — Red Bandana

We left home when we was barely past eleven-teen We've been back and forth and all around through hell and rain I've loved you half of your life and I'll keep on loving you But I can't change and live the way you want me to We spend a lot of time out on the highway Coming from some town we played along the way After thirty years of knowing me the way you do You know I can't change and live the way you want me to But babe, that red bandana tied around your auburn hair You look like you oughta be somebody's wife somewhere You ain't never gonna be no Bobby McGee, but you're trying to But I can't change and live the way you want me to Every time you leave the stage, I know you've had your fill And I wonder why you grew up and why I never will Hey I'm forty-one today still going on twenty-two But I can't change and live the way you want me to That red bandana tied around your auburn hair You look like you oughta be somebody's wife somewhere You ain't never gonna be no Bobby McGee, but you're trying to But I can't change and live the way you want me to No, I can't change and live the way you want me to
