(Merle Haggard)

When Leonard finally came to California
He was twenty-one years old as I recall
He loved to write a song and pick the guitar
And he came to hang a gold one on the wall.

The town in which he lived is not important
But you'll know which town I mean by the time I'm thru
He soon became a famous entertainer
But Leonard was a name he never used

He was on his way to having what he wanted
Just about as close as one could be
Hey! once he even followed Elvis Presley
And he wrote a lot of country songs for me.

But he laid it all aside to follow Jesus
For years he chose to let his music go
But preaching wasn't really meant for LEONARD
But how in the hell was Leonard s'posed to know.

Well, life began to twist its way around him
And I wondered how he carried such a load
He came back again to try his luck in music
And lost his wife and family on the road.

Spoken:
After that he seemed to bog down even deeper
And I saw what booze and pills could really do
And I wondered if I'd ever see him sober
But I forgot about a Friend that Leonard knew.

Well, Leonard gave me lots of inspiration
He helped teach me how to write a country song
And he even brought around a bag of groceries
Hey! back before Muskogee came along.

Really I'm not trying to hide his showname
Or the town in which this episode began
Spoken:
[Somehow I had to write a song for old Tommy]
If just to see the smilin' faces in the band.

When Leonard finally came to California
He was twenty-one years old as I recall
And he loved to write a song and pick the guitar
And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall...


Mirror lyrics:

And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall...
And he loved to write a song and pick the guitar
He was twenty-one years old as I recall
When Leonard finally came to California

If just to see the smilin' faces in the band.
[Somehow I had to write a song for old Tommy]
Spoken:
Or the town in which this episode began
Really I'm not trying to hide his showname

Hey! back before Muskogee came along.
And he even brought around a bag of groceries
He helped teach me how to write a country song
Well, Leonard gave me lots of inspiration

But I forgot about a Friend that Leonard knew.
And I wondered if I'd ever see him sober
And I saw what booze and pills could really do
After that he seemed to bog down even deeper
Spoken:

And lost his wife and family on the road.
He came back again to try his luck in music
And I wondered how he carried such a load
Well, life began to twist its way around him

But how in the hell was Leonard s'posed to know.
But preaching wasn't really meant for LEONARD
For years he chose to let his music go
But he laid it all aside to follow Jesus

And he wrote a lot of country songs for me.
Hey! once he even followed Elvis Presley
Just about as close as one could be
He was on his way to having what he wanted

But Leonard was a name he never used
He soon became a famous entertainer
But you'll know which town I mean by the time I'm thru
The town in which he lived is not important

And he came to hang a gold one on the wall.
He loved to write a song and pick the guitar
He was twenty-one years old as I recall
When Leonard finally came to California
