Sing to Me, Willie

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

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

Indian Paintbrushes
Wild Bluebonnets
All along the freeway up to Bonham
A longhorn steer is grazing by the river
Down in Blanco at sunset
There are some places you recall 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

Painted ponies
Sopapillas
Sometimes the land is flat as a tortilla
But the love that rises up to meet you
Makes you feel you never left

Play for me, Willie
Play your guitar
Take me to Texas
With a song

Mockingbirds
And cicadas
Can be heard from Lubbock to Laredo
A sweet breeze is blowing through the front yard
Every evening at sunset

There are some places you recall forever
And some people you can't forget

There are places you recall forever
And some people you can't forget
