Edie Brickell Sing To Me, Willie (feat. Willie Nelson)
(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
