🎶 “And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole…” 🎶 There’s nothing like the real, raw voice of Merle Haggard bringing us into his world with Mama Tried. A song that resonates across generations, capturing Merle’s own life and the struggles of so many who tried to do right but ended up on the wrong side of the tracks.
