Subject: CRD: UNDER THE BRIDGE by Merle Haggard

Recorded by Merle Haggard

Written by Merle Haggard/T.T.Lane

I lost my job in Saginaw

Working on the railroad

After twenty years

They just put me on the side

Now I'm hungry in the street

With no place to hang my hat

And nothin' but an empty dream to ride

But,

Under the bridge

I can make believe I'm living in a castle

Under the bridge, my baby and me

And I can pretend that I'm a king

And this is my kingdom

Under the bridge, making beleive

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Hey, the doors are always open

To any old weary traveller

And you'll find some great grub

Feedin' here below

Any old bridge can be a palace

Call it what you wan't to

It's a place to be when you got no place to go

[CHORUS]
