Sing to Me, Willie

(Verse 1- Edie Brickell) We played your music at my daddy’s funeral And the pastor was amused He said it’s hard to follow Whiskey River As he looked at us in the pews That was so long ago And it still can make me smile When I feel so all alone You make me feel alright (Chorus) Sing to me, Willie A Texas lullaby I’m so lonesome really, I could cry Your voice reminds me of my home Take me to Texas with a song (Verse 2- Willie Nelson) Indian paintbrushes, wild blue bonnets All along the freeway up to [?] A longhorn steer is grazing by the river Down in Blanco at sunset There are some places you can call forever And some people you can’t forget [Chorus] Sing to me, Willie All night long Your voice reminds me of my home Sing to me, Willie All night long Take me to Texas with a song (Verse 3- Willie Nelson) Painted ponies, sopapillas Sometimes the land is flat as a tortilla But the love that rises up to meet you Makes you feel that you never left (Edie Brickell) Play for me, Willie Play your guitar Take me to Texas with a song (Verse 4- Willie Nelson) Mockingbirds and cicadas Can be heard from Lubbok to Laredo A sweet breeze is blowing through the front yard Every evening at sunset (Outro) Now there are places you recall forever And some people that you can’t forget There are some places you recall forever And some people you can’t forget There are some places you recall forever And some people you can’t forget
