This Song Is Mine by Merle Haggard Lyrics

[Verse]
Sometimes songs are done by singers that don't mean them
And at times I've done the same and couldn't sing 'em
At times I've written songs about some things I didn't do
But these are my words and mine alone, these words are true

[Verse]
I've written words in many ways to make 'em rhyme
And at times, I've stolen notes that wasn't mine
Sometimes I changed my style all around to make it do
These are my words and this is my way and it's for you

[Chorus]
'Cause I love you with all of my heart, my soul, and my mind
These are my words, those notes are mine and this song is mine

[Chorus]
'Cause I love you, honey, with all of my heart, my soul, and my mind
These words are mine, these notes are mine, and this song is mine
