After the MTM singles, Haggard was seriously injured in a car accident, suffering head injury and memory loss which required four years of recovery. He signed to Critique Records in 1995 and began recording Christian-themed music. His first Christian album, Borders & Boundaries, was released in 1996, with "Amnesia" and "Here in the Afterlife" as the singles.

He decided to begin a solo career again in 1985. He then signed with MTM Records, for which he released four singles under the production of Billy Strange. The most successful of these was "Trains Make Me Lonesome", which peaked at number 57 on the country charts, and which helped him receive a nomination for Top New Male Vocalist from the Academy of Country Music. "Trains Make Me Lonesome" was covered by George Strait on his 1992 album Holding My Own. By 1986, Haggard was married for six years to Shree and had two daughters.

At his father's request, Haggard joined his road band, in which he sang harmony and played rhythm guitar.
