if anyone ought to know
Singer:haggard, merle
sittin' in a road side tavern
the only cowboy seated here alone
every night a lonely lady
wants to tell me all about her broken home
it's like they can see inside my mind
they act as though they know i'll understand
i guess they know it when the hear my name
and feel it when they touch my tremblin' hand
but if anyone ought to know
the loneliness of a rolling stone
about things like hurt and misery
lord in heaven knows it ought to be me
the loneliness of a rolling stone
that's the reason i'm all alone
about things like hurt and misery
lord in heaven knows it ought to be me
