Ode to Willie {Nelson, who Else?}
 
 
Al’ays stay a dream
On the Road with the ban’.
Al’ays ‘sang’ what yew mean.
Al’ays stan’ where  yew stan’.
 
Al’ays take yor ol’ beat-up guitar
on the night train t’Georgia, Gerogia.
Al’ays turn up at Boy-Cowboy Bar.
‘Cuz nobody – nobody -- k’n forge-ya.
 
Al’ays look seedy, always sport a braid.
Al’ays sway by bemoanin’ los’ love.
Al’ays soun’ a li’l stoned, but keep yor haid.
Al’ays, al’ays tell The Man he k’n shove.
 
Al’ays be impossible t’write lak yew..
Al’ays know I know, Willie, Luv.
Al’ays keep makin’ me happy t’be blue.
Al’ays croon we are gon' meet Above,
 
Abuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuve.

Always enjoyed Willie Nelson much...admired him that he never really changes, he stays the same (himself) unlike many artists today! I actually had a car that I called Nelson, after old Willie...I often referred to myself like Willie at this time in my life I was driving nearly one hundred and twenty miles a day round trip, to work, to one college campus, leaving that campus and going to another campus fifty miles away, and back home again, working three jobs and holding down a fulltime load at school...my car finally give way to the strain and I had to buy one...I bought a little blue corolla...named him Willie, cause I was once again on the road again! Loved this my friend!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

Ole Wierd Willie . . . Put out some good stuff (Loved "Blackjack County Chain) . . . Hated to have to look at him . . . Looks may be deceiving, but in his case I don't think so . . .

His songs always have a clear, simple, no nonsense message from his heart. Love his voice cause it's kinda' lazy taking you to a dream land. Nice olde to Willie.

Always liked his laid-back style. The voice was hauting and commanding. But on the other points, I'll have to take your words fer it. Enjoyed your wordin' heah. - Bill
