Merle HaggardEverybody likes Johnny Cash. I think the sad part of it is his health is givin' him problems.
Merle HaggardMomma tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied, and that leaves only me to blame, cause Momma tried.
Merle HaggardWe're turning into the society that is accepting the force-feed. I don't quite understand why we're going for the things we're going for.

Merle HaggardThis is America. We're proud. We're not afraid of a bunch of terrorists. But this government is all about terror alerts and scaring us at airports. We're changing the Constitution out of fear. We spend all our time looking up each other's dresses. Fear's the only issue the Republican Party has. Vote for them, or the terrorists will win. That's not what Reagan was about. I hate to think about our soldiers over in Iraq fighting for a country that's slipping away.
