I Must Have Done Something Bad - Merle Haggard

I must have done something bad sometime in my life

And I paid for it time and again

But this time you’ve hurt me so bad I could lay down and die

And the pain grows each day, ten times ten times ten

If I thought my hand was against you, why I’d cut off my arm

And I’d walk off and leave it behind

If I thought that you needed money, why I’d sell my own soul

And I’d even steal from the poor and the blind

--- Instrumental ---

I can’t understand how ice can glitter like fire

Why you had me fooled all alone

I gave you all that I had then I searched around for more

And now I’ve got nothing at all and you’re gone

I must have done something bad sometime in my life

And I paid for it time and again and again…
