Leonard - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:00]

When Leonard finally came to California[00:00:09]

He was twenty-one years old as I recall[00:00:14]

He loved to write a song and pick the guitar[00:00:20]

And he came to hang a gold one on the wall[00:00:25]

The town in which he lived is not important[00:00:31]

But you'll know which town I mean by the time I'm through[00:00:37]

He soon became a famous entertainer[00:00:42]

But Leonard was a name he never used[00:00:48]

He was on his way to having what he wanted[00:00:53]

Just about as close as one could be[00:00:59]

Hey once he even followed Elvis Presley[00:01:04]

And he wrote a lot of country songs for me[00:01:10]

But he laid it all aside to follow Jesus[00:01:16]

For years he chose to let his music go[00:01:21]

But preaching wasn't really meant for Leonard[00:01:27]

But how in the hell was Leonard supposed to know[00:01:33]

Well life began to twist it's way around him[00:01:38]

And I wondered how he carried such a load[00:01:44]

He came back again to try his luck in music[00:01:49]

And lost his wife and family on the road[00:01:55]

After that he seemed to bog down even deeper[00:02:02]

And I saw what booze and pills could really do[00:02:06]

And I wondered if I'd ever see him sober[00:02:12]

But I forgot about a friend that Leonard knew[00:02:17]

Well Leonard gave me lots of inspiration[00:02:23]

He helped teach me how to write a country song[00:02:28]

And he even brought around a bag of groceries[00:02:34]

Hey back before Muskogee came along[00:02:40]

Really I'm not trying to hide his show name[00:02:46]

Or the town in which this episode began[00:02:51]

Somehow I had to write a song for old Tommy[00:02:57]

If just to see the smilin' faces in the band[00:03:01]

When Leonard finally came to California[00:03:07]

He was twenty-one years old as I recall[00:03:13]

And he loved to write a song and pick the guitar[00:03:18]

And he came to hang a gold one on the wall[00:03:24]
