silver wings shining in the sunlight
roaring engines
heading somewhere in flight
they're taking you away
leaving me lonely
silver wings
slowly fading out of sight

"" PALO CEDRO, California — When Merle
Haggard passed away Wednesday on his
79th birthday, it really came as no surprise
to his family.
According to his son, Ben Haggard, his
father told the family a week ago that “he
was gonna pass on his birthday, and he
wasn’t wrong.”
Haggard’s son posted an emotional picture
on Facebook that showed his hand on his
father’s hand just before he died.
“A (sic) hour ago he took his last breath
surrounded by family and friends,” Ben
Haggard wrote on Facebook. “He loved
everything about life and he loved that
everyone of you gave him a chance with his
music. He wasn’t just a country singer. He
was the best country singer that ever
lived.”"
