What Happened? - Merle Haggard

It used to be Andy & Barney Fife

Now its Howard Stern and the brothel life

Too much crap can drive the world insane

Everybody’s singing the jailhouse blues

Don’t believe a word of the evening news

Truth that stood for years is down the drain

Trailer parks with a building code

Cul-de-sacs and the country road

High tech bars with that karoke sound

Uncle Sam gets your money spent

Pay your tithes you can’t pay your rent

Foreign cars selling big in American town

What happened

Does anybody know

What happened

Where did America go?

Everything Walmart all the time

No more mom & pop five and dime

What happened

Where did America go?

Where did America go?

How did we ever go so wrong

Did we get too high

Did we sleep to long

Why did we raise the price of gasoline

I remember the morning the towers fell

I fell back asleep and dreamed of hell

I guess I thought it all was part of my dream

Where’d it go boys?

Hey, hey

I’m gonna preach

I miss America
