  • Merle Haggard sings "Natural High" at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985.
    Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.
    For more information about Farm Aid, visit: farmaid.org/youtube
    Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

    There was none better that Haggard!! He never needed antics like swinging out over the crowd on a rope or other foolishness like Garth Brooks. He just stood, flat footed on any stage and out sing any one of his peers. Heavens band got a good one when he went..

    You stayed with me thru thick and thin
    You watched me lose, you watched me win
    You picked me up off of the ground
    You never one time let me down
    And you put me on a natural high
    And I can fly, I can fly
    I was drowning in a sea of make-believe
    As helpless as a falling leave
    You gave your hand to me that day
    And you did it, 'cause you're made that day
    And you put me on a natural high
    And I can fly, I can fly
    *************
    You always seem to let your feelings show
    You love me and you let me know
    Darling just remember these three words
    I love you, I love you, I love you
    And you put me on a natural high
    And I can fly, I can fly
    you put me on a natural high
    I can fly, I can fly.....
