Me and Paul Lyrics (Willie Nelson)
Well, it's been rough and rocky travelin'
But I'm finally standin' upright on the ground
And after takin' several readings
I'm surprised to find my mind's still fairly sound
I thought Nashville was the roughest
But I know, I've said the same about them all
We received our education
In the cities of the nation, me and Paul
Almost busted in Laredo
But for reasons that I'd rather not disclose
But if you're stayin' in a motel there and leave
Just don't leave nothin' in your clothes
And at the airport in Milwaukee
They refused to let us board the plane at all
They said, we looked suspicious
But I believe they like to pick all me and Paul(ha - ha - ha - ha)
And on a package-show in Buffalo
Well, us and Kitty Wells and Charlie Pride
The show was long and we were just sittin' there
And we'd come to play, and not just for the right
And we drank a lot of whiskey
So I don't know if we went on that night, at all
But I don't think, they even listened to us
I guess, Buffalo ain't geared for me and Paul(ha - ha - ha - ha)
Well, it's been rough and rocky travelin'
But I'm finally standin' upright on the ground
And after takin' several readings
I'm surprised to find my mind's still fairly sound
I thought Preston was the roughest
But I know, I've said the same about them all
We received our education
In the cities of the nation, me and Paul
Spoken:
Thank you - and then, I still miss someone (hm - hm, okay) - this is for June - what's the story on this one - what's the story? Oh - 'cause if you don't, I have to tell them when it's at the end and loses everything of it, let me tell you of that - there's a line in that there where I say, I wonder if she's sorry for leavin' what we'd begun. Bob Dylan and I was singin' it together one time, he sang - , he said, I won't that line - I said, okay so, I said, I wonder if she's sorry for leavin' me so undone - ha - ha - ha - ha
