I Am An Island - Merle Haggard

They say no man is an island, that’s all I hear from my old friends

They say I should forget you and learn to love again

But I don’t need nobody tryin' to tell me what to do

And I don’t want nobody else if I can’t have you

I am an island, I just want to be alone

Time means nothing to a stone, I am an island

I am an island, I’m driftin' on the sea

Till you come back to me, I am an island

I’ve boarded up the windows, locked and bolted all the doors

I don’t want nobody comin' round to see me anymore

I just wanna hold your picture, lose my mind in your sweet perfume

Sit here in the shadows starin' out the window of our room

I am an island, I just want to be alone

Time means nothing to a stone, I am an island

I am an island, I’m driftin' on the sea

Till you come back to me, I am an island

I am an island, I just want to be alone

Time means nothing to a stone, I am an island

I am an island, I’m driftin' on the sea

Till you come back to me, I am an island
