Willie Nelson Album

That's my favorite part, rewind my life on.
When my world got dark, and you turned my light on.
I watched it for hours again and again in my head.
I did.
I see I was down on you, more than I needed to be.
I'd say I'm sorry but then you'd think I'm lyin'

Chorus:
Maria, shut up and kiss me.
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me.
I bet you're gonna miss me. You need me. Believe me.

Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on.

That's my favorite shirt, you always had on.
Man, It sure looked good, ev'ry time you walked on.
You're takin' the wind from me every chance that you could.
You're good.
Somethin' I can't explain.
You tell me lately I've changed.
If you feel better tell me why are you cryin'?

(Repeat Chorus)

Maria, Maria can we talk it over instead?
Let's call it even and leave it alone.
Come to bed.

Maria, stop leavin' your teasin' is beaten me down.
Maria just calm down
In these situations I've found it's best not to be proud
and say that you're sorry.

Maria, shut up and kiss me.
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me.
I bet you're gonna miss me. You need me. Believe me.

Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on.

And it turns me on and on.
on and on
on and on
And it turns me on and on.
on and on
on and on
on and on and on and on......

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

Scarce as Monday morning feeling washed away
I orchestrated paradise couldn't make you stay
You dance with the horses through the sands of time
As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino county line

I have these pictures and I
Keep these photographs to
Remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doing fine
I use to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

The two of us together felt nothing but right
Feeling we're immortal every Friday night
Lost in our convictions lips stained with wine
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

I have these pictures and I
Keep these photographs to
Remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doing fine
I use to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

I don't talk to you too much these days
I just thank the Lord, pictures don't fade
I spent time with an Angel just passing through
Now all that's left is this image of you

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind

I have these pictures and I
Keep these photographs to
Remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doing fine
We use to be so happy once upon a time
(Once upon a time)
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

Mendocino county line
Mendocino county line
Mendocino county line

i was looking for America, in a western movie
saw a young gun slinger with something to prove
and i came lookin'... like anybody else,
i came searchin'...like anybody else
lookin' for that golden calf.

and i came shooting for the stars, like any young blood
i found a fat cat city and crooked judge
i killed anything standing in my path
i killed anything till i laid my hands
laid' em on the golden calf

CHORUS:
now it's our last sand in open country
this is my last chance to be with you
this is the last dance for this kind of man
i'm still lookin' for somthing to prove

i come around full circle, aged like an old dog
lookin' at them young bucks just green as frogs
but i ain't layin' back no time to laugh
i ain't layin' back
there's new kids a comin gunning for that golden calf

i was was looking for America in a western movie
i saw pike bishop stridin' through aqua verde
he was headin down that dusty path
headin down that blood path
runnin from his crooked past
hes lookin for another life
sick of chasin' down that golden calf

repeat chorus

but theres always someone faster
someone quicker on the draw
someone with a hunger closin' in
some younger steppin up to be
the next out law

repeat chorus

oh i'm still looking for something to prove
this is our last stand...
this is our last stand...
this is our last stand...
this is our last stand...

You won't catch me cryin' over you
I think I'm leavin' after all I've been through
Pardon me, if I love you endlessly
But you've got wounds that I can't move

I won't be not sleepin' over you
If I'm sleepin' far away from you
I know you think you need me
But once you had and couldn't keep me
Isn't this the same ground we've been through?

You won't catch me cryin' over you
(Won't catch me cryin')
(Won't catch me cryin' over you)

You won't catch me cryin' over you
After all the things you put me through
I need to be somewhere with room to breathe
I need a heart that don't need you

You won't catch me cryin' over you
(Won't catch me cryin')
(Won't catch me cryin' over you)

You won't catch me cryin' over you
After all this work that you gave me to do
Pardon me, if I love you endlessly
You've got wounds that I can't move

You won't catch me cryin' over you
You won't catch me cryin'
You won't catch me cryin'
You won't catch me cryin' over you

It's the way that you kiss me
It's the way that you don't
It's the way that you'll miss me
When you swear that you won't

There's a feeling you give me
When we talk on the phone
God, I hope you outlive me
So I'm never alone

Chorus:
And whatever you do, I will be there for you
Through the thunder the wind and the rain
And whatever you do, I will promise to you
I will be there,
I will be there for you

I may lack social graces
But I won't swallow my pride
See there are millions of places, I could be
But I'm here by your side

(Chorus)

Though there's nothing to guide us
We will weather the storm
Till the heavens divide us
I'll keep you from harm

(Chorus)

And whatever you do, I'll be there for you
Through the thunder, the wind, and the rain
I will always be true, this I promise to you
I will be there
I'll be there for you

Here we are
Standing where the highways cross
Here we are
Sayin' goodbye

Just another love
Lost in the great divide

Here we are
Acting like two crazy kids
We've come too far
To ever see it end like this

Just another love
Lost in the great divide

Remember how we used to dance together?
Remember how I used to hold you tight?
You asked me if I'd leave and I said never
And that's still right

Summer sun
No prettier than summer rain
Summer gone
Summer coming back again

Other loves
Lost in the great divide

Remember how we used to dance together?
Remember how I used to hold you tight?
You asked me if I'd leave and I said never
And that's still right

Summer sun
No prettier than summer rain
Summer gone
Summer coming back again

Other loves
Lost in the great divide

Other loves
Lost in the great divide

This Face is all I have, worn and lived in
And lines below my eyes are like old friends
And this old hearts' been beaten up
And my ragged soul has had things rough
And this face is all I have, worn and lived in

The fairest they can fall bored in believing
Something to achieve, this peaceful feeling
After all these tears are only true
And your silver spoons can't dig up my roots
And this face is all I have, worn and lived in

*chorus*
Worn and lived in
Through the tides of time
Worn and lived in
This face of mine
And I kept believing the reflection on the wall
Who needs to be the fairest of them all

I never looked like you, cool and streamlined
I have this honesty that grows with time
And when cracks appear they suit me fine
Like a good old dog you won't hear me whine
And this face is all I have, worn and lived in

*chorus*
Worn and lived in
Through the tides of time
Worn and lived in
This face of mine
And I kept believing the reflection on the wall
Who needs to be the fairest of them all

Sins and lies, they take the place of truth and answers
You can trade a glance and call it second sight
You can't buy sympathetic mirrors,
And honesty is an answer you can't find

And I kept believing the reflection on the wall
Who needs to be the fairest of them all

When the world is crashing down
And you're left alone on shaky ground
It seems like losing hope's
The only way to cope

But you can turn around and see
That every precious memory
Is still inside of you
Just let it shine on through

Don't fade away
Nothing's what it seems
You're lost and in between
But you'll find yourself again
Don't fade away, don't fade away

Take your time and think it through
You've got everything in front of you
It's like a brand new page
Each and every day

Don't fade away
Nothing's what it seems
You're lost and in between
You'll find yourself again

Don't fade away
Hold on to your dreams
Through waves of suffering
The tide will turn again
Don't fade away

All that you've seen
All that you've done
Don't say it's over
You hold the key
Unlock the sun

Don't fade away
Nothing's what it seems
You're lost and in between
But you'll find yourself again

Don't fade away
Hold on to your dreams
Through waves of suffering
The tide will turn again

Don't fade away
Nothing's what it seems
And all that really means
Is that you'll find yourself again

Don't fade away
Hold on to your dreams
Through waves of suffering
Tide will turn again
Don't fade away

Don't fade away, don't fade away
Don't fade away, don't fade away
Don't fade away, don't fade away

Don't fade away
When the world is crashing down
Don't fade away
And you're left alone on shaky ground
Don't fade away, don't fade away, don't fade away

Don't fade away, don't fade away
Don't fade away, don't fade away

Recollection Phoenix
It's funny how the miles get into me though
It's funny how the earth moves
And I wonder what my baby thinks of me-o

Recollection L.A.
Wondering who it is I'm supposed to be-o
Anxious by the roadside
High on souvenirs and cappuccinos

But now I think I get it
I think I understand
It's all about hope
And where you go when you get it

And I think I get it
I think my head's on straight
And I think she knows
Hell, there goes my secret

Recollection Phoenix
I wonder when the hell did I get older
My mind still on my woman
I wonder what she thinks of when I hold her

Judging by the silence
You might think the road has made her colder
But I can't live without her
And I can't remember if I ever told her

But now I think I get it
I think I understand
It's all about hope
Where you go when you get it

And I think I get it
I think my head's on straight
And I think she knows
Hell, there goes my secret

Recollection Vegas
Colder than it was that time in Reno
Listen to the night move
Go out to the girls in the casino

Now I think I get it
I think I understand
It's all about hope
And where you go when you get it

And I think I get it
I think my head's on straight
And I think she knows
Hell, there goes my secret

You Remain- Willie Nelson & Bonnie Raitt

What do you do with the sands of time
When they carve out lines around your eyes
I can close my fists up good and tight
But I can’t hold back the sands of time

What do you do with a memory
That just hangs around and stares at me
I can tear that frame down off the wall
But it won’t erase the things I saw

Night and day
Night and day
You remain
You remain

What do you do with old regrets
There’s a box full underneath the bed
Just close enough not to forget
But do what do you do with old regrets

There’s old house key in a kitchen drawer
To the door I can’t unlock no more
Sometimes I hold that key real tight
But what do you do after goodbye

Night and day
Night and day
You remain
You remain

Night and day
Night and day
You remain
You remain
