Merle Haggard My Old Pal Lyrics

My Old Pal Lyrics

I'm thinking of you tonight old pal

And wishing that you were here

I'm dreaming of the times and the days gone by

When you filled my heart with cheer



I remember the nights when all alone

We sang Sweet Adeline

No other face can take your place

In my heart old pal of mine



The old pals are always the best you see

New friends you can find every day

But they can't fill their places or ever be

Like the old pals of yesterday



I'm wondering where you are tonight

And if you ever think of me

It would make my weary heart

So light sweetheart your face again to see



But in my checkered life I find

Nothing comes right it seems

Still you'll always be a pal of mine

Though it may be only in dreams



The old pals are always the best you see

New friends you can find every day

But they can't fill their places or ever be

Like the old pals of yesterday
