Merle Ronald Haggard (April 6, 1937 – April
6, 2016) was an American country singer, songwriter, guitarist, and fiddler.
Haggard was born in Oildale, California,
during the Great Depression.
His childhood was
troubled after the death of his father, and he was incarcerated several times
in his youth. After being released from San Quentin State Prison in 1960, he managed to turn his life around and launch a successful
country music career. He gained popularity with his songs about the working
class that occasionally contained conformist and jingoistic themes
contrary to the prevailing anti-Vietnam War sentiment of much popular
music of the time. Between the 1960s and the 1980s, he had 38 number-one hits
on the US country charts, several of which also made the Billboard all-genre singles chart.
Haggard continued to
release successful albums into the 2000s.
He received many honors and awards for his
music, including a Kennedy Center Honor (2010), a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2006), a BMI Icon Award (2006), and induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (1977), Country Music Hall of Fame (1994) and Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame (1997). He died on April 6, 2016—his 79th birthday—at his ranch in Shasta County, California,
having recently suffered from double pneumonia.
Today I Started Loving You Again
I'm right back where
I've really always been;
I got over you just
long enough to let my heartache mend,
then Today I Started
Loving You Again.
What a fool I was to
think I could get by
With only these few
million tears I've cried.
I should have known
the worst was yet to come.
And that crying time
for me had just begun.
'Cause Today I
Started Loving You Again,
I'm right back where
I've really always been;
I got over you just
long enough to let my heartache mend,
then Today I Started
Loving You Again.
