I Must Have Done Something Bad

I Must Have Done Something Bad Written by Red Lane Recorded by Merle Haggard [Intro]             I must have done something bad some- time in my life And I paid for it time and a- gain 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 arm And I’d walk off and leave it be- hind 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      I can’t understand how ice can glitter like fire Why you had me fooled all a- lone I gave you all I had then and searched around for more And now I have nothing at all and you’re gone      I must have done something bad sometime in my life And I paid for it time and a- gain and a- gain
