he won't ever be gone
Got the news this morning It would be a tough day Some are so much larger than life Can't believe they could pass away When it comes to country music he's the world And it wouldn't be all it is without Merle  But he won't ever be gone His songs live on A Fugutive and a Branded Man Mama Tried to understand Left us a lifetime of songs And he won't ever be gone  We were friends right from the start And we shared some high times I would sing some songs he wrote He would sing a few of my own Music made us brothers 'til the end But not a day goes by that I don't miss him  He won't ever be gone His songs live on Ramblin' Fever and The Way I Am Blue collar blues for the working man We'll be singin' him back home from now on And he won't ever be gone  He won't ever be gone His songs live on A Fugutive and a Branded Man Mama Tried to understand Left us a lifetime of songs He won't ever be gone We'll be singin' him back home from now on He won't ever be gone
