Lyrics I've Done It All - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

I've Done It All

Did you ever steal a quarter when you was 10 years old?
Ever wear a brogan with a hole in the sole?
Did you ever ride a freight train while running from the law?
I’ve done it all, Lord, Lord, I’ve done it all
Did you ever spend a winter in a dirty jail?
Did you ever buy a topcoat at a rummage sale?
Did you ever spend a Christmas inside detention hall?
I’ve done it all, Lord, Lord, I’ve done it all
Well, I’ve picked my share of cotton, boys
And I’ve drove one railroad spike
And I’ve been everywhere I talk about
And I can tell you what its like
I’ve even been to San Francisco wearing regular clothes
With them modern hippie folks staring down their nose
I can proudly say I’ve answered my patriotic call
I’ve done it all, Lord, Lord, I’ve done it all
