Listening To the Wind Lyrics

Merle Haggard

Listening to the wind
Trying to hear the voice of a distant friend
Wishing you and I were close again
Listening to the wind

Listening to the breeze as it whispers through the poplar trees
Do you think of me way back then?
Do you listen to the wind?Listening to the night
Wishing we could hold and squeeze each other tight
I can almost hear the stars so bright
Listening to the night

Listening to the sound of a highway through some distant town
I can almost hear the pale moonlight
Do you listen to the night?

Listening to my mind
Searching through my thoughts for the perfect line
Using tricks and telepathy at times
Do you listen to your mind?

Listening to the breeze as it whispers through the poplar trees
Wishing you and I were close again
Just listening to the wind

Don’t Worry About Me Lyrics

Marty Robbins

Don’t worry ’bout me, it’s all over now
Though I may be blue, I’ll manage somehow.
Love can’t be explained, can’t be controlled
One day it’s warm, next day it’s cold.

Don’t pity me, ’cause I’m feeling blue
Don’t be ashamed it might happen to you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, love, kiss me
One time then go love, I’ll understand
Don’t worry ’bout me.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, love will I want you to be
As happy as I when you love me
I’ll never forget you your sweet memory it’s all over now

Don’t worry bout me.

When one heart tells one heart, one heart goodbye
One heart is free, one heart will cry
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh sweet, sweet baby, sweet baby, sweet
It’s all right don’t worry ’bout me…

Today I Started Loving You Again Lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard

Today I started loving you again
And I’m right back where I’ve really always been
I got all over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I’ve cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that cryin’ time for me had just begun

Today I started loving you again
And I’m right back where I’ve really always been
I got all over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And then today I started loving you again

Today I started loving you again
And I’m right back where I’ve really always been
I got all over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And then today I started loving you again

Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 29, 1933) is an American musician, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music.

Pancho And Lefty Lyrics

Merle Haggard

Living on the road my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
And now you wear your skin like iron
And your breath as hard as kerosene

Weren’t your mama’s only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams

Pancho was a bandit boy
His horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel

Pancho met his match you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dying words
Ah but that’s the way it goes

All the Federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose

Lefty, he can’t sing the blues
All night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down south
Ended up in Lefty’s mouth

The day they laid poor Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
There ain’t nobody knows

All the Federales say
They could have had him any day
We only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose

The poets tell how Pancho fell
And Lefty’s living in cheap hotels
The desert’s quiet, Cleveland’s cold
And so the story ends we’re told

Pancho needs your prayers it’s true
But save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do
And now he’s growing old

All the Federales say
We could have had him any day
We only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose

A few gray Federales say
We could have had him any day
We only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose

Okie From Muskogee Lyrics

Merle Haggard & The Strangers

We don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don’t take no trips on LSD
We don’t burn no draft cards down on Main Street;
We like livin’ right, and bein’ free.

I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin’s still the biggest thrill of all

We don’t make a party out of lovin’;
We like holdin’ hands and pitchin’ woo;
We don’t let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.

And I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin’s still the biggest thrill of all.

Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
Beads and Roman sandals won’t be seen.
Football’s still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college dean.

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.

“Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” by Willie Nelson, Vince Gill and Albert Lee

WATCH this classic song Number 1 hit song of Willie Nelson. “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” is a song written by songwriter Fred Rose. Originally performed by Roy Acuff, the song has been covered by many artists, including Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Russell, and Charley. Willie Nelson recorded this song as part of his 1975 album Red Headed Stranger.

Willie Nelson is a country music icon. A unique and versatile artist, his innovative songwriting has resulted in No. 1 hits for dozens of artists – including more than twenty for himself – and a recorded output that is “so vast,” music journalist Bob Allen writes, “as to confound all but the most dedicated discographers.”

Willie Nelson’s awards are numerous, including 11 CMAs, 12 GRAMMYs, and 6 ACMs. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1993, received the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999, and won the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize in 2015. In 2003, CMT placed him at No. 4 among the “Greatest Men of Country.” And, in 2008, his distinctive vocal style – once considered a deficit – earned him the No. 88 spot on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain

Willie Nelson

In the twilight glow I see
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we’d never meet again

Love is like a dyin’ ember
Only memories remain

Through the ages I’ll remember
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain

Some day when we meet up yonder
We’ll stroll hand in hand again

In a land that knows no partin’
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
