All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers Lyrics - Singles - 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 my 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 who would be true 

Why, I should be taken out, 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
