How did you find me
How did you know
I’d be here in this hole in the ground
I can’t even see out over the edge
Looking up from all the way down

I thought I’d been left here to die
When I saw your face appear
What a surprise
How did you find me here

I thought I could do it
All of it all by myself
I thought I could win every round
Then I hit rock bottom
And the blues I got ’em
You lifted me out of my fear
How did you find me here

I thought I could do it
All of it all by myself
I thought I could win every round
Then I hit rock bottom
And the blues I got ’em
Lifted me out of my fear
But how did you find me here

Then I hit rock bottom
And the blues I got ’em
And you lifted me out of the fear
But how did you find me here
(Thank you Lord)

–Written by Merle and Theresa Haggard (appears on the new album I Am What I Am)
