Merle Haggard Lyrics
"I Think I'm Gonna Live Forever"

(Merle Haggard - Dennis Hromek - Benny Binion)

When you first left me baby I thought I would surely lose my mind
Every day of life was just another day gone by
Well, you really had me down in a deep depression
I wanted real bad just to crawl off and die.

But now I think I'm gonna live forever
Hey, dyin' ain't on my list of things to do
I think I'm gonna live forever
Hey, it feels so good to be out of love with you.

--- Instrumental ---

Hey babe, you left me hangin' just tryin' to aggravate me all the way
And you got it done just the way you always do
But all you really did was aggravate me
'Cause I got my health and I got over you.

And now I think I'm gonna live forever
Hey dyin' ain't on my list of things to do
I think I'm gonna live forever
Hey, it feels so good to be out of love with you...
