Merle Haggard - Heaven Was A Drink Of Wine

[@marselsmith2008]

You know looking back in the early eighties my sister would pull my hair in the back seat of daddy's Lincoln Contenental and Iooking at my Dad from the back with his feathered cowboy hat singing Merle songs, the music really grabbed me and I would sing with him and still I would ride out to Palacios and in his front yard with my speaker and microphone and sing any song he wishes to hear cause I Know them all GOD BLESS MR. HAGG

[@MrBillygoat]

The best country music song writer and artist in my lifetime. Everybody else is following him, was an honor to know this man and his family as well as the strangers.

[@davidstokes2780]

Merle and George were national treasures. They’ll never be duplicated. The blueprint of country music.

After my children died , this was so true . After 34 years have learned to cope , but folks still question why . No answer . Just numbs the pain .

[@jody4876]

[@slabslayer258]

If it wasn’t for George jones and Merle and Waylon David Alan coe Charlie daniels an this list goes on from older to some newer I wouldn’t listen to country cause the kids today wouldn’t know what good country music was If they had a vinyl or 8 track or cassette tape of it to listen too lol and sad the Keith Whitley and Conway and Gary Stewart and others left us way to early I think they would piles of more hits we would love listening to or better yet dranking too
