Red Bandana - Merle Haggard

作词：Merle Haggard

作曲：Merle Haggard

We left home when were barely

past eleven-teen

We've been back and fourth 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 spent a lot of time out

on the highway

Coming from some town we

played along the way

After thirty years and knowing

me the way you do

You know I can't change and live

the way you want me to

That red bandana tied around your auburn hair

You look like you ought to be

somebody's wife somewhere

You ain't never going to be no

bobby Mcgee but your 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 ought to be

somebody's wife somewhere

You ain't never going to be no

bobby Mcgee but your trying to

But I can't change and live the

way you want me to

I can't change and live the

way you want me to
