WILLIE NELSON feat. Lukas Nelson – The Sound Of Your Memory

Well it’s 4 a.m., ain’t no sleep to be found
Your face in my mind spinning around
And awake I will dream, in my dream you’ll be there
And I can’t get away from you anywhere

And ever since I met you my life’s been a song
A sad song, a love song with hate in between
You’d be breaking my heart, it was clear from the start
But my pen and my paper will keep my mind clean

And I can’t breathe when you’re around
My heart doesn’t beat, my mouth doesn’t speak
And I can’t sleep cause of the sound
The sound of your memory that’s bringing me down
The sound of your memory that’s bringing me down

And I can’t see myself without seeing you
I can’t touch anything that don’t feel like you do
Any place that I go I’ll be looking for you
And it hurts me to know that you don’t love me too

And I can’t breathe when you’re around
My heart doesn’t beat, my mouth doesn’t speak
And I can’t sleep cause of the sound
The sound of your memory that’s bringing me down
The sound of your memory that’s bringing me down

And I can’t breathe when you’re around
My heart doesn’t beat, my mouth doesn’t speak
And I can’t sleep cause of the sound
The sound of your memory that’s bringing me down
Yes, the sound of your memory is bringing me down

WILLIE NELSON – The Scientist

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let’s go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Don’t speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start

WILLIE NELSON – That’s All There Is To This Song

The night that we met I heard music
The words started coming, so I wrote her a song
She loved every line, that flowed from my mouth
And I sang it to her all night long

It was easy to write about her blue eyes
And her sweet smile and her body
And her smile oh, touchin’ me
I made her mine, with just a few lines
And a three quarter time melody

That’s all there is to this song
The dream that she was has moved on
All the words to the verses are gone
That’s all there is to this song

That’s all there is to this song
The dream that she was has moved on
All the words to the verses are gone
And that’s all there is to this song

All the words to the verses are gone
And that’s all there is to this song

WILLIE NELSON feat. Snoop Dogg, Kris Kristofferson, Jamey Johnson – Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die

Roll me up and smoke me when I die
And if anyone don’t like it, just look ‘em in the eye
I didn’t come here, and I ain’t leavin’
So don’t sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.

Now, you won’t see no sad and teary eyes
When I get my wings and it’s my time to fly
Call my friends and tell ‘em
There’s a party, come on by
Now just roll me up and smoke me when I die.

Roll me up and smoke me when I die
And if anyone don’t like it, just look ‘em in the eye
I didn’t come here, and I ain’t leavin’
So don’t sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.

When I’d go I’ve been here long enough
So you’ll sing and tell more jokes and dance and stuff
Just keep the music playin’,
That’ll be a good goodbye
Roll me up and smoke me when I die.

Roll me up and smoke me when I die
And if anyone don’t like it, just look ‘em in the eye
I didn’t come here, and I ain’t leavin’
So don’t sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.

Hey, take me out and build a roaring fire
Roll me in the flames for about an hour
Then take me out and twist me up
And point me towards the sky
And roll me up and smoke me when I die.

Roll me up and smoke me when I die
And if anyone don’t like it, just look ‘em in the eye
I didn’t come here, and I ain’t leavin’
So don’t sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.

WILLIE NELSON – Outskirts Of Town

Well I’m gon’ tell you baby
We’ll move away from here
Gonna sell my icebox and buy me a Frigidaire
When we move out on the outskirts of town
Cause I don’t want nobody foolin’ or always hangin’ round

It may sound funny honey, funny as it can be
If we ever have any children
I want ‘em all to look like me
When we move, way out on the outskirts of town
Cause I don’t want nobody foolin’ there always hangin’ round

[Keb' Mo':]
I’m gon’ bring me own grocery
I’m gon’ bring ‘em everyday
I don’t like that grocery boy
I gotta keep him away
When we move way out on the outskirts of town
No no, I don’t want nobody always hangin’ round
Well now, I don’t want nobody always hangin’ round

WILLIE NELSON feat. Lukas Nelson – No Place To Fly

The road ain’t gettin’ shorter
And I think the weed is gettin’ stronger
And I’m tryin’ not to speak
To no one who don’t care

I’m spinnin’ around in a whirlpool of letters
That run in a circle and try to break free in my mind

And I know I’m still young
But I can only get older
And I know that sometimes
I hurt you and I’m gone

Well it’s a story as old as the fire that brought us together
You think that we’d learn but you still remain

In the back of my mind
Eatin’ up all my time
Hangin’ weightless in the sky
Like an angel with no place to fly

Everyday I get stoned
I simply try to write a song
The road is like a river
That sings when I’m alone

I’m sittin’ beside a window of light
That floods in my eyes and keeps me from finding mine

If I stayed home
I’d only wish I was gone
Wantin’ you with me
But knowin’ that you can’t come

You’ve seen all the charms of this crazy old life
And you’d just as soon leave ‘em behind as you’d never leave me

In the back of my mind
Eatin’ up all my time
Hangin’ weightless in the sky
Like an angel with no place to fly

Lookin’ for some peace of mind
Like an angel with no place to fly

WILLIE NELSON feat. Lukas Nelson – My Window Faces The South

My window faces the South
I’m almost halfway to heaven
The snow is falling but still I can see
Fields of cotton calling to me

My window faces the South
Though I am far from the Swanee
I’m never frowning or down in the mouth
My window faces the South

My window faces the South
I’m almost halfway to heaven
The snow is falling but still I can see
Fields of cotton calling to me

My window faces the South
Though I am far from the Swanee
I’m never frowning or down in the mouth
My window faces the South
My window faces the South
My window faces the South

WILLIE NELSON feat. Lukas Nelson – My Home In San Antone

Haven’t got a worry, haven’t got a care
Haven’t got a thing to call my own
Though I’m out of money, I’m a millionaire
I still have my home in San Antone.

When I greet my neighbor with a hi you all
I’m wealthy as a king upon a throne
And when I feel like braggin’ I just up and say
I’m a native son of San Antone.

Well, I travel around the country on my merry way
I’ve been to crowds and felt I was alone
But when I feel like braggin’ I just up and say
I’m a native son of San Antone.

And there’s a sweet somebody by the Alamo
Someday she’s gonna be my very own
We’ll buy a high chair in a year or so
For our little home in San Antone.

Well I haven’t got a worry, haven’t got a care
Haven’t got a thing to call my own
And though I’m out of money, I’m a millionaire
I still have my home in San Antone.

And there’s a sweet somebody by the Alamo
Someday she’s gonna be my very own
And then I’ll buy a high chair in a year or so
For our little home in San Antone.

I’m a native son of San Antone.
For our little home in San Antone.

WILLIE NELSON feat. Lukas Nelson – Just Breathe

Yes I understand, that every life must end, uh-huh
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh

Oh I’m a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love
Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they’ve got none.

Stay with me
Let’s just breathe

Practiced on my sins, never gonna let you win, uh-huh
Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh

I don’t want to hurt
There’s so much in this world to make me believe

Stay with me
All I see

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh if I didn’t I’m a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
But I come clean

I wonder everyday, as I look upon your face, uh-huh
Everything you gave and nothing you would take, uh-huh
Nothing you would take, everything you gave

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh if I didn’t I’m a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
But I come clean

Nothing you would take, everything you gave
Love you till I die, meet you on the other side

WILLIE NELSON feat. Billy Joe Shaver & Jamey Johnson – Hero

Where is our hero tonight?
The bars are all booming
And he’s nowhere in sight
Wherever he is Lord, we hope he’s alright
Where is our hero tonight?

He used to be king of the bars
He’s opened and closed them from Waco to Mars
Now he sings on the streets and he sleeps in his car
But he used to be king of the bars.

Where is our hero tonight?
He left here a-sailing, he was high as a kite
Feeling kinda sorry, and looking for a fight
Where is our hero tonight?

And where is our hero today?
Can we just tag along, we’ll stay out his way.
Does he still write the sad songs and can he still play
Where is our hero today?

Where is our hero tonight?
The bars are all booming
And he’s nowhere in sight
Wherever he is Lord, we hope he’s alright
Where is our hero tonight?

Wherever he is Lord, we hope he’s alright
But where is our hero tonight?

WILLIE NELSON feat. Lukas Nelson – Every Time He Drinks He Thinks Of Her

Every time he drinks he thinks of her
But every morning her memory fades away
Living is easy now, but it just might get worse
Cause every time he drinks he thinks of her

But in the morning he wakes up with a smile
And the road still has him coming every mile
But the party life is dangerous, when you left your love behind
Cause it hides in every bottle that you find

Every time he drinks he thinks of her
And every morning her memory fades away
Living is easy now, but it might get worse
Cause every time he drinks he thinks of her

He thinks that he can live his life without her
And leave her love as easy as it came
If he keeps on drinkin’, then his mind will keep on thinkin’
And his heart will die rememberin’ her name

Every time he drinks he thinks of her
But in the morning her memory drains away
Living is easy now, but it might get worse
Cause every time he drinks he thinks of her

And every time he drinks he thinks of her
But in the morning her memory drains away
Living is easy now, but it might get worse
Cause every time he drinks he thinks of her

WILLIE NELSON feat. Lukas Nelson & Sheryl Crow – Come On Up To The House

Well the moon is broken
And the sky is cracked
Come on up to the house
The only thing that you can see
Is all that you lack
So come on up to the house

And all your cryin’ don’t do no good
Come on up to the house
Come down off the cross
We can use the wood
Come on up to the house

Come on up to the house
Well, come on up to the house
This world is not my home
I’m just passin’ through
So come on up to the house

There’s no light in the tunnel
No irons in the fire
Come on up to the house
And your singin’ lead soprano
In a junk-man’s choir
You gotta come on up to the house

Does life seem nasty, brutish and short
Come on up to the house
The seas are stormy
And you can’t find no port
Just come on up to the house

Come on up to the house
Oh, come on up to the house
This world is not my home
And I’m just passin’ through
So come on up to the house

There ain’t nothing in the world
That you can do
Come on up to the house
You been whipped by the forces
That are inside you
So just come on up to the house

Well you’re high on top
Of your mountain of woe
Come on up to the house
Well you know you should surrender
But you just can’t let go
You gotta come on up to the house

Come on up to the house
Come on up to the house
This world is not my home
And I’m just passin’ through
Come on up to the house

Come on up to the house
Come on up to the house

WILLIE NELSON feat. Billy Joe Shaver, Lukas Nelson & Micah Nelson – Come On Back Jesus

Come on back Jesus (Come on back Jesus)
Come on back Jesus
And pick up John Wayne on the way
The world’s done gone crazy,
And it seems to get worse everyday
So come on back Jesus,
And pick up John Wayne on the way

Time to take off the glove
They just don’t respect peace anymore
But if we have old John Wayne
We know he can swing from the floor
While he kicks their butt
We’ll just stand there and watch him and pray

So come on back Jesus,
And pick up John Wayne on the way

Come on back Jesus (Come on back Jesus)
Come on back Jesus
And pick up John Wayne on the way
The world’s gettin’ crazy,
And it seems to get worse everyday
So come on back Jesus,
And pick up John Wayne on the way

It’s getting real hairy
If only old duke man was here
He’d call me old bastard
From out past the atmosphere
Lord the news looked so scary
When I glanced at the paper today

So come on back Jesus,
And pick up John Wayne on the way

Come on back Jesus (Come on back Jesus)
Come on back Jesus
And pick up John Wayne on the way
The world’s gettin’ crazy,
And it seems to get worse everyday
So come on back Jesus,
And pick up John Wayne on the way
Come on back Jesus, come on back Jesus
Come on back Jesus
And pick up John Wayne on the way

WILLIE NELSON feat. Lukas Nelson & Ray Price – Cold War With You

The sun goes down and leaves me sad and blue
The iron curtain falls on this cold war with you
Though you won’t speak and I won’t speak it’s true
Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through

Why, oh why should love ever come
To couples like you and me
Whose cold cold wars are never won
And whose hearts just can’t be free
So, let’s do right or let’s just say we’re through
I just can’t stand another cold cold war with you

Why, oh why should love ever come
To couples like you and me
Whose cold cold wars are never done
And whose hearts just can’t be free
So, let’s do right or let’s just say we’re through
I just can’t stand another cold cold war with you
I just can’t stand another cold cold war with you

WILLIE NELSON – Away In A Manger

Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the heavens
Looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing,
The poor Baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus,
No crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus;
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
Till morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus;
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray!
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care,
And fit us for Heaven
To live with Thee there.

Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the heavens
Looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.

WILLIE NELSON – All The Things You Are

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
You are the angel glow that lights a star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Some day my happy arms will hold you,
And some day I’ll know that moment divine,
When all the things you are, are mine!

WILLIE NELSON feat. Merle Haggard & Lukas Nelson – A Horse Called Music

High on a mountain in western Montana
A silhouette moves ‘cross a cinnamon sky
Riding alone on a horse he called Music
With a song on his lips, and a tear in his eye

And he dreams of a time, and a lady that loved him
And how he would sing her sweet lullabies
But we don’t ever ask him
And he never talks about her
I guess it’s better to just let it slide

But he sang “ooh” to the ladies
And ooh, he made some sigh
Now he rides away on a horse he called Music
With a pain in his heart and a tear in his eye

He rode the Music from Boston to Bozeman
For not too much money, but way too much ride
But those were the days when a horse he called Music
Could jump through the moon and sail across the sky

Now all that’s left is a time worn old cowboy
With nothin’ more than the sweet by-and-by
And trailing along, is a horse with no rider
A horse he called memories, that she used to ride

And he sang “ooh” to the ladies
And ooh, he made ‘em damn near lay down and die
Now he rides away on a horse he called Music
With a pain in his heart and a tear in his eyes

High on a mountain in western Montana
Two crosses cut, through a cinnamon sky
Marking the place where a horse he called Music
Lays with a cowboy in the sweet by-and-by…

WILLIE NELSON – I’ll Be Seeing You

I’ll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through.

In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The children’s carousel;
The chestnut trees;
The wishin’ well.

I’ll be seeing you
In every lovely summer’s day;
In every thing that’s light and gay.
I’ll always think of you that way.

I’ll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I’ll be looking at the moon,
But I’ll be seeing you.
