A Shoulder To Cry On - Merle Haggard

I came here because I knew I’d be welcome

And because somehow you always understand

You seem to have a way with lonely people

And you always were my greatest helping hand

Now once again, I’m here to take advantage

Though I don’t deserve the arms I left alone

I need to know there’s someone who still loves me

And I need a shoulder to cry on

I overlooked the love you tried so hard to give

The love I never seemed to understand

I always stay just long enough to hurt you

And what little love I gave was secondhand

Now once again, I’m here to take advantage

'Cause once again, the one I love is gone

I need to know there’s someone who still loves me

And I need a shoulder to cry on
