"Right or Wrong" is a classic country song by Merle Haggard, released in 1961. In this song, Haggard sings about a love that has ended, but his feelings for the person remain unchanged. He knows that it was probably inevitable that they would break up, but he still holds onto hope that they might get back together one day. The lyrics suggest that the relationship ended because the other person was not faithful, and the protagonist knew this all along. However, despite the pain that this has caused him, he can't help but remain in love with his former partner. He dreams about them being together again, but every time he wakes up, he is faced with the reality of their separation. In the end, Haggard's message is that true love endures, no matter what. Even if the relationship is over, the love that existed between the two people cannot simply be forgotten. Haggard's powerful voice and emotive lyrics capture the complexity of this situation, and make "Right or Wrong" a timeless country classic.
