The song "No More You and Me" by Merle Haggard is about a man who has lost the love of his life to another man. Despite a feeling in his gut that told him not to call her, he couldn't help but dial her number. As the phone rang, he knew deep down that she had chosen someone else and there was no longer a future for them. The sadness and loneliness that comes with losing one's true love is the focus of this song. The narrator doesn't need to see his ex-lover with her new man to know that she has moved on. He finds himself calling the place she has been in order to confirm what he already knows. This song is a powerful reflection on heartbreak and the difficult realization that someone we once loved is now gone for good. Despite the pain and sadness, the narrator knows that he will have to find a way to move on and face the world without the person he once held so dear.
