Sing to Me, Willie - Edie Brickell, Willie Nelson

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

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

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
