Merle Haggard - Set Me Free Lyrics

If you think you've had enough
if you think our life's been rough
Why not take your love
line off of me and set me free

If you think our love's all wrong
if you feel the fire is gone
If that's not what you'd like
for me to be set me free

Set me free and let me fly
like a bluebird fly in high
Release the chain that's bindin' you
to me and set me free
***************
But you're the kind that
likes to hold on and on
to love till it grows cold
And you know you've held
on much too long to me
so why won't you set me free

Please just set me free
Set me free and let me fly
like a bluebird in the sky
Release the chain that's bindin' you to me
oh set me free, set me free.....

+4girlsgramps Glad you enjoyed it. Glad you found it on here to enjoy.

Actually, written by Marvin Walters. Curly and Merle just released it. Marvin played for a local NC group called Station 5.

Written by Curly Putman in 67.great song.

A great Merle tune with with 1977 sound all over it..Written by Merle Haggard and Dean Holloway. Ramblin' Fever album.

This has the same melody as Peggy Lee's "I'm Leaving The Bottle and You."
