(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers

(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers - Merle Haggard

Oh the love you promised would be mine forever

I would have bet my bottom dollar on

Well it sure turned out to be a short forever

Just once I turned by back and you were gone

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers

I'm all through ever trusting anyone

The only thing I can count on now is my fingers

I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone

It amazes me not knowing any better

Than to think I had a love that would be true

Why I should be taken out and tarred and feathered

To have let myself be taken in by you

From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers

I'm all through ever trusting anyone

The only thing I can count on now is my fingers

I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
