Willie Nelson Album

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again

Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again

Some people are saying that time will take care of people like me
That I'm livin' too fast and they say I can't last much longer
But little they see that their thoughts of me is my Saviour
And little they know that the beat oughta go a little faster
So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time'll take care of itself so just leave time alone
And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home

Well I'm wild and I'm mean I'm creatin' a scene I'm goin' crazy
I'm good and I'm bad and I'm happy and sad and I'm lazy
I'm quiet and I'm loud and I'm gatehrin' a crowd and I like gravy
About half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy
So pick up the tempo...
Take it on home

Well sometimes it's heaven
And sometimes it's hell
Sometimes I don't even know
Sometimes I take it as far as I can
And sometimes I don't even go
My front tracks're found for a cold water
And my back tracks're covered with snow
Sometimes it's heaven
Sometimes it's hell
Sometimes I don't even know

[ steel - piano ]

Heaven ain't walkin'
On a street paved with gold
And hell ain't a mountain of fire
Heaven is layin'
In my sweet baby's arms
Hell is when baby ain't there
Well my front tracks're found for a cold water
And my back tracks're covered with snow
Well sometimes it's heaven
And sometimes it's hell
Sometimes I don't even know

WILLIE NELSON:
In the twilight glow i see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

SHANIA TWAIN:
Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages i'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

BOTH:
Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In the land that knows no parting
For blue eyes crying in the rain.

It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
But I've been a workin' man dang near all of my life
And I'll keep on workin' long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern and sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
Sometimes I think about leavin' do a little bummin' around
I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
I go back workin' I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I'll get a little bit stoned this weekend and cry a little bit of these workin' man blues

[ harmonica - piano - guitar ]

I said hey hey workin' man workin' man like me
I ain't never been on welfare and that's one place I won't be
I'll be back workin' as long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll get a little bit stoned this weekend and sing a little bit of these workin' man blues

[No lyrics]

Whiskey River take my mind,
Don't let her mem'ry torture me.
Whiskey River don't run dry,
You're all I've got, take care of me.

Whiskey River take my mind,
Don't let her mem'ry torture me.
Whiskey River don't run dry,
You're all I've got, take care of me.

I'm drowning in a whiskey river,
Bathing my mem'ried mind in the wetness of its soul.
Feeling the amber current flowin' from my mind.
And warm an empty heart you left so cold.

Whiskey River take my mind,
Don't let her mem'ry torture me.
Whiskey River don't run dry,
You're all I've got, take care of me.

Instrumental break.

I'm drowning in a whiskey river,
Bathing my mem'ried mind in the wetness of its soul.
Feeling the amber current flowin' from my mind.
And warm an empty heart you left so cold.

Whiskey River take my mind,
Don't let her mem'ry torture me.
Whiskey River don't run dry,
You're all I've got, take care of me.

It's a Bloody Mary morning,
Baby left me without warning
Sometime in the night
So I'm flyin' down to Houston
Forgetting her's the nature of my flight

As we taxi toward the runway
With the smog and haze
Reminding me of how I feel
Just a country boy who's learnin'
That the pitfalls of the city
Are extremely real

All the night life and the parties
And temptation and deceit
The order of the day
Well it's a Bloody Mary mornin'
Cause I'm leavin' baby somewhere in LA
It's a Bloody Mary morning...

[ guitar ]

Our golden jet is airborn
And flight Fifty cuts a path
Across the mornin' sky
And a voice comes on the speaker
Reassuring us flight Fifty
Is the way to fly

And a hostess takes our order
Coffee tea or something stronger
To start off the day
Well it's a Bloody Mary morning
Cause I'm leavin' baby somewhere in LA
It's a bloody mary morning...

I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle as she flies
Turning on the world the way you smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
And healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of your eyes
Waking in the morning to the feeling of your fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money love and time we have to spend
Loving you is easier than anything I'll ever do again

Coming close together with a feeling that I've never known before in my time
You ain't ashamed to be a woman you know just gotta be a friend
I don't know the answers to the easy way you opened every door in my mind
Dreaming is as easy as believing it's never gonna end
Loving you is easier than anything I'll ever do again
Loving you is easier than anything I'll ever do again

[No lyrics]

[No lyrics]

It's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to control you
Like the other little children you're gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin' or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you
It's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to console you
When you go out to play this evenin' play with fire flies till they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover and play with real fire till the dawn
But it's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to console you
[ steel ]
When you go out to play this evenin'...

If you're feeling salty I'm your tequila
If you've got the freedom well I've got the time
There ain't nothin' sweeter than naked emotions
So you show me yours fun and I'll show you mine

No ma'am I know this ain't all that you've ever been used to
You with your rings of your fingers and time on your hands
Sometimes it's nice to have somebody nice to be close to
God knows I've been there before you and I understand
If you're feeling salty...

[ guitar ]

I wish that I were the answer to all of your questions
Lord knows I know you wish you were the answer to mine
So darlin' if you ain't got a thing but a change of direction
Lord knows I know you'll be something I'm lucky to find
If you're feeling salty...
If you show me yours fun and I'll show you mine

Funny a woman can come on so wild and free
Yet insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
And stand by my bed and shiver as if she were cold
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold
One night of love can't make up for six nights alone
But I'd rather have one than none Lord cause I'm flesh and bone
And sometimes it seems that she ain't worth the trouble at all
But she could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all

Right or wrong a woman can own any man
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
Then leave him as weak and weary as a newborn child
Fighting to get his first breath and open his eyes
One night of love can't make up...

[ guitar ]

And sometimes it seems...

If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while
Tried to keep your spirits up

**CORRECTION** And your fever down

Chorus:
I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up
Than see you down
Leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.
This must be the place called paradise.
You are so precious to me,
what a special time within our lives.
And I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

A thousand times I see you
and a thousand times you take my breath away.
Fears and doubts consume me and I'm afraid someone will take it all away.
I hope we're here forever, but I guess it's time that we both realized.
That I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.
This must be the place called paradise.
You are so precious to me,
what a special time within our lives.
And I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

A thousand times I see you
and a thousand times you take my breath away.
Fears and doubts consume me and I'm afraid someone will take it all away.
I hope we're here forever, but I guess it's time that we both realized.
That I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

Angel eyes angel eyes
The ways of the world are feeble
Don't give up on simple people
Angle eyes stun those nights
The blues you can live wthout
It's not what you song's about
Angel eyes angel eyes
Tell me what would we're doin'
Without the light from angel eyes

You can move the hearts of men
Just with a phrase you're turning
Since hearts ever have been yearning
Bear with us bear so alone
Thin lines you've been living on
Are so close to the danger zone
Angel eyes angel eyes
Tell me what would we're doin'
Without the light from angel eyes

So you think you're a cowboy but you're only a kid
With a mind to do everything wrong
And it starts to get smoother when the circle begins
But by the time that you get there it's gone

So you think you're a winner but you're losing again
The cards are all lucky but then
And the hand that you're holding means nothing at all
Just knowing is all that is there
So you think you're a cowboy...

[ guitar ]

So your life is a fun the best that you can tomorrow is not right or wrong
And don't wait for tomorrow to bring you your dreams
Cause by the time that they get there they're gone
So you think you're a cowboy...
Yeah but by the time that you get there it's gone

Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took me astray
If you do then forgive me
And make the world make it go away
Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

[ sax ]

I'm sorry if I'll hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to
And make the world go away
Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

There must be two sides to every story
And whose to say whose right and who is wrong
And I'm tryin' to understand why you're not with me
How can we both be right when you're still gone
It's hard to believe that it's all over a love like ours is not supposed to die
And there must be two sides to every story
I just wish I had a chance to tell you mine
I miss you more than I could ever tell you
And we've hurt each other more than we could know
And there must be two sides to every story
Come on home and tell me yours I love you so

[ guitar ]

I miss you more than I could ever tell you
And we've hurt each other more than we could know
And there must be two sides to every story
Come on home and tell me yours I love you so

Well I've been a lot of places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages with ten thousand people watchin'
Now we're alone and I am singin' my song for you
And I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
No one more important to me darling can't you please see through me
Cause now we're alone and I am singing my song for you
Well you taught me precious secrets of a truth with holding nothin'
You came out in front but I was hiding
Now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
And I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you
And we were alone and I was singing my song for you

O they tell me of a home far beyond the skies,
O they tell me of a home far away;
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
O they tell me of an uncloudy day.

O the land of cloudless day,
O the land of an unclouded day,
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
O they tell me of an uncloudy day.

O they tell me of a home where my friends have gone,
O they tell me of that land far away,
Where the tree of life in eternal bloom
Sheds its fragrance through the uncloudy day.

O the land of cloudless day,
O the land of an unclouded day,
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
O they tell me of an uncloudy day.

O they tell me of a King in His beauty there,
And they tell me that mine eyes shall behold
Where He sits on the throne that is whiter than snow,
In the city that is made of gold.

O the land of cloudless day,
O the land of an unclouded day,
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
O they tell me of an uncloudy day.

O they tell me that He smiles on His children there,
And His smile drives their sorrows all away;
And they tell me that no tears ever come again
In that lovely land of uncloudy day.

O the land of cloudless day,
O the land of an unclouded day,
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
O they tell me of an uncloudy day
