I've Seen It Go Away Songtext
von Merle Haggard

I′ve seen him when he stepped down on the moon
I've seen him sail around the world in a hot balloon
I′ve seen many a great tomorrow turn to yesterday
I've seen him, boys, and I've seen it go away

I′ve seen the share of good times come and go
I′ve seen Bob Wills and Elvis when they did a show
When you've seen the very best the rest can hardly play
I′ve seen it, girls, and I've seen it go away


I′ve seen it in its pride and all its glory
I've seen it through the bars on a dark and stormy day
I have seen it from all high through the tears I had to cry
Sad part is, I′ve seen it go away

I watched it all completely fall apart
And I seen our greatest leaders break the people's heart
I've seen most of what we got, have a whole lot better days
I′ve seen it, kids, and I′ve seen it go away

I've seen it in its pride and all its glory
I′ve seen it through the bars on a dark and stormy day
I have seen it from all high through the tears I had to cry
Sad part is, I've seen it go away
