Haggard, Merle - You Take Me For Granted Lyrics






My legs and my feet have walked 'till they can't hardly move
From tryin' to please you
And my back is sore from bendin' over backwards
To just lay the world at your door.

And I'm trying so hard to keep a smile on a sad face
While deep down it's breakin' my heart
And as sure as the sunshines I'll be a lifetime
Not knowin' if I've done my part.

'Cause you take me for granted
And it's breakin' my heart
And as sure as the sunshines I'll be a lifetime
Not knowin' if I've done my part.

And as sure as the sun shines I'll be a lifetime
Not knowin' if I've done my part...

    Not a well known Hag classic, but what a great song from Leona and Merle

    D.... E....

    Not a well-known song, yet it was #1?
    Sure thing, sport

  12. m.... ....

    A #1 hit for Merle Haggard on the Country & Western charts. It was the 655th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era.

  13. L.... C....

    There was only one and there will never be another like Merle Haggard

    L.... C....

    You're so right

    Leona Williams and Leona Hobbs are two different women, married to Merle at different times.

    F.... ....

    Well, he didn't mess up by calling #2 by the wrong name!

  16. C.... B....

    She had got pregnant with another mans child while Merle was in prison, that's what kind of person she was, an he took her back, an lived with her , until it got so bad he left

    C.... B....

    Wrong Leona. It was Leona Hobbs he was married to while in prison. Leona Williams came later.

    C.... B....

    @Francies Jagge Leona Williams was Merle's third wife

  17. C.... B....

    If that wife was Leanoa Hobbs she was a stupid a hole

    H.... W....

    As Leona puts it, "I wrote several hit songs for Merle, and my name is even on some of them."

    +ranello127 He certainly will be Merle was real not like these so called country singers they have around today .

  23. D.... W....

    Merle hit #1 on ACC, 5-28-83.

  24. b.... ....

    A song written by the then wife of Merle , which brought him to tears when she played it to him , as there marriage was falling apart

    b.... ....

    she was a bitch

    b.... ....

    @steve white you're an idiot

    b.... ....

    Leona Williams. Yep. Story was, she wadded it up and threw it at him, and said "Go make us a million dollars."

    Probably bullshit, but fantastic song. I sing this under my breath when me and the wife fight, and she's never once made the connection.
