Merle Haggard's my house of memories (1999)
Merle Haggard's my house of memories is a 1999 biography book written by Merle Haggard and Tom Carter.
"Picking up where his 1982 autobiography, Sing Me Back Home, left off, Haggard recounts his earliest childhood memories, revealing previously untold stories about his birth and troubled upbringing in a converted railroad boxcar. He recalls the innocence of the 1950s, when a boy could safely ride the rails with hobos and share their transient camps. He talks about his father's death when Merle was nine and how his childish disobedience soon erupted into full-blown delinquency."--BOOK JACKET.
"Having lived a life marked by violence, gambling, and drugs, Merle shares the lessons he learned and how he continues to pay for decades of reckless living. He discloses that after earning more than a hundred million dollars, he's virtually broke. Merle reflects on how he felt at that bittersweet hour seven years ago, as he stood at his wife's bedside during the delivery of their son - and was served bankruptcy papers.
And he recalls his family's move into a house so decayed that cattle literally roamed inside. He still lives there, amid improvements, today."--BOOK JACKET.
