No one can do country music quite like Merle Haggard!

“I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink” a song written by Haggard features an extended jam section that you cant help but to tap your feet to. The song, originally release back in the 80's on his album Back to the Barrooms this version is a bit faster than the original yet still holds the same charm as it did before.

A song that has been covered by the famous and unfamous alike there is no denying that whatever he put his hands to the people loved. Even now his legacy lives on as the working man's poet and no matter how famous or wealthy he became he always seemed to reflect his down home relatability in every note.

Could be holding you tonight
Could quit doing wrong, start doin' right
You don't care about what I think
I think I'll just stay here and drink

Hey, puttin' you down won't square the deal
Least you'll know the way I feel
Hey, take all the money in the bank
Think I'll just stay here and drink

Hey, listen close and you can hear
That loud jukebox playin' in my ear
Ain't no woman gonna change the way I think
I think I'll just stay here and drink

Hurtin' me now, don't mean a thing
Since lovin' you, don't feel no pain
My mind ain't nothin' but a total blank
I think I'll just stay here and drink, yeah
