Willie Nelson Album

If this is a game we play
And if this is a roll I play
Where are the words I say to you
The words don't fit the picture anymore
And if we've been acting all along
And we both act right and we both act wrong
Where does it say that we should cry
It's just the words don't fit the picture anymore anymore
The words don't fit the picture anymore
No need to force the love scenes anymore
And a one act play comes to an end
And we turn to leave we can both part friends
But this is the time to say goodbye goodbye
Cause the words don't fit the picture anymore anymore

A long time forgotten
are dreams that just felt by the way.
And the good life he promised
ain't what she's living to day.
But she never complains of
the bad times or bad things he's done
Lord.
She's just talks about the good times
they've had and all the good times to come.

She's a good hearted woman
in love with a good timin' man.
She loves him in spite of his ways
that she don't understand.
Through teardrops and laughter

they'll pass though his world hand in hand.
A good hearted woman
lovin' her good timin' man.

He likes the night life

the brightlights and good timin' friends.
when the party's all over
she welcome him back home again.
Lord knows she don't understand him
but she does the best that she can.
'Cause she's a good hearted woman
she loves her good timin' man.

She's a good hearted woman ...

Stay away form lonely places
Follow the crowd
Stay around familiar faces
Play the music loud
Be seen at all the parties
Dress yourself in style
Stay away form lonely places for awhile
Stay away from lonely places
Till you learn to live alone
Someone's outstretched arms are waiting
To stay with you at least till dawn
Remember that sorrow prospers
In a heart that never smiles
So stay away from lonely places for awhile

[ guitar ]

Stay away from lonely places
It takes time to learn to live alone
And someone's outstretched arms are waiting
To stay with you at least till dawn
Remember that sorrow prospers
In a heart that never smiles
So stay away from lonely places for awhile

You called me Country Willie
The night you walked away
With the one who promised you a life of joy
You thought my life too simple
And your was much too gay
To spend it living with a country boy
I'm writing you this letter
I write you every day
I hope that you've received the ones before
But I've heard not one word from you
And every day I pray
That you will not forget your country boy
While you're living in the city
With riches round your door
Is this your love
Is this your kind of joy
Or do you find
There's something missing
Does your heart cry out for more
And do you sometimes miss your country boy

[ steel ]

A cottage in the country
With roses round the door
Could not compete
With flashing city lights
But it's all I have to offer
Except for one thing more
A heart so filled with love
That it could die
Well it's time to end this letter
The light of dawn is near
A lonely night has passed
But there'll be more
Just one more thing in closing
For all the world to hear
Come home I love you
Signed your country boy

[No lyrics]

I'm just one step before losin' you.
And I'm just one step ahead of the blues.
But I know that there's been pain an' misery.
Long before this old world had ever heard of me.
And I know it will hurt to see you go,
But we'll just add one more heartache to the score.
And though I still love you as before,
I'm just one step beyond carin' any more.

Instrumental break.

Bet that you're surprised that I could feel this way,
After stayin' home an' waitin' night and day.
For someone who cared so much for me,
You'd come home just long enough to laugh at me.
I don't know just when my feelin's changed,
I just know I could never feel the same,
And though I still love you as before,
I'm just one step beyond carin' any more.

My heart takes walks with her on cold and rainy days
She leads my heart along where only love can lead the way
And I know she'll follow me to the end of the world
She makes me proud to say that she's my kind of girl
She makes to proud to walk the streets of anywhere
And if our bed be grass or cotton she won't care
And I know she'll follow me to the end of the world
She makes me proud to say that she's my kind of girl

[ steel ]

And I know she'll follow me to the end of the world
She makes me proud to say that she's my kind of girl
And I know she'll follow me to the end of the world
She makes me proud to say that she's my kind of girl

Sweet is the song when the song is love love that has stood the test of time
And when you've heard all the songs of love will you remember mine
Gone are the times that I walked with you and held your hand in mine
Now when you hold another's hand will you remember mine
I have sat 'neath the trees while the cool summer breeze
Blew away the sands of time
And thought of days when you were near remembering when you were mine
Gone are the times when I held you close and pressed your lips to mine
Now when you kiss another's lips will you remember mine
I have sat neath the trees...

Well it's cloudy in the morning gonna be raining in the afternoon
Cloudy in the morning and it's gonna be raining in the afternoon
If you don't like this rainy weather you better pack your bags and move
But if you're running from it brother the only road that I can see
If you're running from it brother the only road that I can see
Is the road that leads to nowhere and nowhere is a fool like me
Rain keep a falling falling round my window pane
Rain keep a falling falling round my window pane
Ain't never seen so much rainy weather guess I'll never see the sun again

[ guitar + harmonica ]

Save those dimes and nickels save 'em for a rainy day
Save your dimes and nickels save 'em for a rainy day
It ain't gonna keep the rain from coming but at least you know you've paid your way
Rain rain rain keep a falling...

If you really loved me
You wouldn't treat me this way
And you'd be kind enough
To leave some life while I'm away
And I might cry when you go
But I won't die when you go
And someday someone just might come along

If you really loved me
You wouldn't test me this way
You wouldn't leave the choice of leaving up to me
But I'm too proud to survive
Cause I'm more dead than alive
Cause someday someone just might come along
