WELL I PICKED UP MY OLD GUITAR
AND I WROTE ME A COUNTRY SONG
AND IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD ONE
AND SOON ALL MY FRIENDS WERE  SINGIN ALONG

THEY HAD ME PLAY IT OVER  AND OVER AGAIN
HELL I THOUGHT THEY'D NEVER QUIT
THEY ALL SAID YOU BETTER GET THAT ONE ON THE RADIO BOY
CAUSE WERE ALL SURE ...............IT'S A HIT

WELL I DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO CALL
I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO START
THEN SOMEONE SAID , WHY DON'T YA SINGER TO WILLIE NELSON
I BET HE COULD PUT ER ON THE CHARTS

BUT I DIDN'T HAVE HIS E-MAIL
I COULDN'T HIS NUMBER IN THE BOOK
WE EVEN TRIED TO INTERNET
BUT NO ONE KNEW.......WHERE TO LOOK

THEN SOMEONE SAID , WHY HE LIVES DOWN IN TEXAS
HE'S GOT HIS OWN TOWN NAMED LUCK
AND THAT GAVE ME THE CRAZY IDEA
TO THROW MY GUITAR IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK

WELL I DROVE ALL NIGHT TO TEXAS
AND I FOUND ME A FRIENDLY POLICE MAN
HE GAVE ME DIRECTIONS TO WILLIE'S
AND I SAID.............THANK YA MAN

WELL I DROVE DOWN WILLIE'S DRIVE
GOT OUT AND WALKED THROUGH HIS FRONT YARD
PASS SOME FUNNY LOOKIN BUSHES , UP TO HIS PORCH
AND KNOCKED ON HIS DOOR REAL HARD

THEN I HEARD SOMEONE STIRRIN THEN I HEARD EM YELL
WHAT THE HELL YA WANT?
YOU,D BETTER NOT BE HERE SELLIN INSURANCE
CAUSE IF YA ARE , YA GONNA BE WISHIN ..........THAT YA DON'T

I SAID I,M JUST HERE TO SEE WILLIE
I JUST WANT TO SING HIM MY SONG
SO IF YOU COULD SEND HIM OUT , I'LL SING IT
THEN I'LL BE MOVIN ALONG

WELL THE DOOR BARELY CRACKED OPEN
SOMEONE HANDED ME OUT A BEER
THEY SAID GO AHEAD AND SING YOUR SONG IF YA WANNA
BUT WILLIE ?..........................HE AIN'T HERE

CHORUS

WELL I,M UP THE CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE
I,M DOWN AND OUT OF LUCK
LIKE RIDIN A HORSE IN THE RAIN WITHOUT A SADDLE
MIGHT AS WELL GET BACK IN MY TRUCK
JUST TUCK MY TAIL TWEEN MY LEGS
GO AHEAD AND SHED A TEAR
I ONLY WANTED TO SING MY SONG TO WILLIE
BUT WILLIE........HE AIN'T HERE

I SAID YOUR VOICE SOUNDS AWFUL FAMILIAR
THE KIND MY MAMA COULD TRUST
BUT AIN'T THAT WILLIE'S GUITAR ?
AND AIN'T THAT WILLIE'S BUS ?
WELL I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE A BOTHER
IT WAS JUST A CRAZY IDEA
I ONLY WANTED TO SING MY SONG TO WILLIE
BUT WILLIE .....HE AIN'T HERE

REPEAT CHORUS AND TAG

ARE YOU SURE YOUR NOT HOME
JUST GETTIN STONED
I ONLY WANT TO BEND YOUR EAR
I ONLY WANNA SING MY SONG TO WILLIE
BUT WILLIE , HE AIN'T HERE
I ONLY WANNA SING MY SONG TO WILLIE
BUT WILLIE SAY,S ....HE AIN'T HERE
WILLIE , HE AIN'T HERE
