Merle Haggard - What Am I Gonna Do (With The Rest Of My Life) Lyrics

So many great country singers, one of my favorites. I'll always remember the day he passed away. Love this guy so did my mom and dad. Thank you for the video you all be good be safe.

Miss ya Hag! I owe ya a great deal for helping me thru the hard shit in life! Love ya Brother.

Talent and skill, combined with a lot of practice. Sorely lacking in most of today's music. They just use computers to "fix" everything. Merle Haggard certainly didn't need any computers.

Listen to that voice. The best ever. Rip hag

songs like this......just cant get any better...I'm always gonna jamm merle haggard until I'm gone...his music is apart of my life of my choice and .....not gonna change it....RIP

I LOVE YOU MERLE

Met him several times on his motor home,one of the best singers to ever come along,and played well on top of it ,great musician

Kind of my feeling from time to time. My wife Peggy passed April 6th this year from cancer.

Just wonderful 👏👏🎶🎶❤️❤️

No synthesizers, pro tools or bs. Musicians playing music. This was the golden era of music.

A Legend Forever Merle will always be""" 🎶🎶🎶💞💞💞💞

some slick playin' there....missing Merle!!!

Is the neck of that guitar unusually long. Or is it the shrooms

Both 🤯

Don't get no better than this yall ❤

Beautiful Merle "" miss you 💞💞

I still miss you Evelyn

I've been asking my self this everyday for the past 7 yrs. That's when the absolute love of my life for 48 yrs. went to heaven

You were always one of the best my husband always loved your singing and songs. We all miss you

Legend live forever,.when they still people who remember them,.thay are alive with us,.

Love this song/from my time time/sanni,.

Got few of these replies. All the same. Love you Hag. Having a drink of good whiskey for you man. Loving the song. RIP

My god what a fantastic musician, from his lyrics to his pickin on that guitar, the man was incredible....

Love Merle's style in that he had long bridges while you thought about the lyrics you'd just heard...it really drives the point home...
Here, it's real simple...the guy says he can smoke and drink until morning, and he'll probably be okay, but what about the rest of his life? Then you get an extended musical interlude while you consider this poor bastard's situation... alone until he dies...

I'LL LOVE YOU ALWAYS HAG , UR THE BEST IN THE WEST , AND NORTH EAST AND SOUTH !!!!!!

tears won't stop just to listen to this song... love is precious u only know it when it's gone...

Thanks for this music video. My favorite country singer!!

who is the lady in the background?

Donna Faye.  See the credits at the end of the "I think I'll just stay here and drink" video from the same "Live from Austin" session.

Leona Williams

his wife leona williams

I don't think it is Leona Williams, it might be his daughter Dana.

What a very talented man, RIP Merle.....

Luckily for me, my father in law Ken got tickets for himself, my wife Peggy, and me to see him live at Wild Horse Pass casino here in Arizona about 5 or 6 years ago. And room to crash in for the night. RIP Merle, Ken, and Peggy.

Merle and Hank Jr . Most talented real artists ever . Flat out wear Fender guitars out and write some of the best songs to ever touch radio waves not to mention how #$%&!@# cool they are

@Dustin Waldroop WELL NOW THAT U MENTION IT , WHO CAN ??????????

Hank Jr isnt in the same class as Merle. I like Hank Jr a lot too but Merle has the perfect voice and his guitar skills are amazing.

Love 'em both...Merle is GOAT...Hank Jr is one of the greatest entertainers ever...

Hank Williams is a 6 if Merle is a 10. Hank is nowhere near the songwriter or musician Merle was. Hank is the hero of Skoal chewing, Bud Light drinkin, four wheel truck driving teenage ‘rebels’. They continue down that path into adulthood. There’s nothing wrong with being in that crowd but they usually aren’t as into the actual music as Merle fans. It’s comparing apples and bowling balls really.

1985 uno de los mejores años de HAG

Solo Guitar Merle explendido y su voz espectacular. ES el mejor para mi. Muy prolofico. Musico. Compositor y showman
Lo tiene voz y sobre todo su voz. Mezcla su voz y su musica como a nadie se lo he visto en 50 Anos. GRACIAS A DIOS POR MERLE
