Troubadour - Merle Haggard

Rhinestone guitar cases, honky tonks and Army bases

Trying to keep my name up there in lights

Learning chords and guitar rhythm

Singing blues and living with 'em

Doing every song old Hag can write

Troubadour, I’m a troubadour

Doing everybody’s favorite song

Troubadour, I’m a troubadour

I’m laying back and trying to come on strong

Got songs about the nitty gritty

Doing shows in every city

Warming up the crowd to some big star

I’ll always be a minor leaguer

Probably never get no bigger

I just love to play my old guitar

Troubadour, I’m a troubadour

Doing everybody’s favorite song

Troubadour, I’m a troubadour

I’m laying back and trying to come on strong

Troubadour, I’m a troubadour

Doing everybody’s favorite song

Troubadour, I’m a troubadour

I’m laying back and trying to come on strong
