Merle Haggard I Must Have Done Something Bad Lyrics

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
And 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
[ fiddle ]
I can't understand how ice can glitter like fire
Why you had me fooled all along
I gave you all that I had then I searched around for more
And now I have 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
