Red Bandana
By Merle Haggard
Capo 1
D G
We left home when we was barely past eleventeen
D A
Been back and fourth and all around through hell and rain
D G
I've loved you half of your life and I’ll keep on lovin’ you
D A D
But I can't change and live the way you want me to
We spend a lot of time out on the highway
Comin’ from some town we played along the way ss
After 30 years of knowing me the way you do ||
You know I can’t change and live the way you want me to-i
Chorus: But babe,
A D
That red bandana tied around your auburn hair
A D
You look like you ought to be somebody's wife somewhere
D G
You ain't never going to be no Bobby McGee but you’re tryin’ to
D A D
But I can't change and live the way you want me to
Every time you leave the stage I know you've had your fill
And I wonder why you grew up and why I never will
Hey, I'm 41 today still going on 22
But I can't change and live the way you want me to
Chorus
I can't change and live the way you want me to
