This song comes from the 6th album Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson made together. It was also the last album released before Merle Haggard’s death. Live This Long is song about remembering the good ol’ days and how fast they flew by; there is also a somber tone about doing things differently. The lyrics read, “If we would’ve known we would live this long, we might have changed things up a bit”…“lived out every song, just maybe not quite as fast as we did.” The song appeared on the 2015 release of Django & Jimmie, and the album itself received a positive response from numerous critics.
