(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers - Merle Haggard, George Morgan

Oh, the love you promised would be mine forever\nI would have bet my bottom dollar on Well, it sure turned out to be a short forever\nJust once I turned my back and you were gone\nFrom now on all my friends are gonna be strangers\nI’m all through ever trusting anyone\nThe only thing I can count on now is my fingers\nI was a fool believing in you, now you are gone\nIt amazes me, not knowing any better\nThan to think I had a love who would be true\nWhy, I should be taken out, tarred and feathered\nTo have let myself be taken in by you
