  • [Edie Brickell]
    We played your music at my daddy's funeral
    And the pastor was amused
    He said it's hard to follow Whiskey River
    As he looked at us in the pews
    That was so long ago
    And it still can make me smile
    When I feel so all alone
    You make me feel alright

    Sing to me, Willie
    A Texas lullaby
    I'm so lonesome really, I could cry
    Your voice reminds me of my home
    Take me to Texas with a song

    [Willie Nelson]
    Indian paintbrushes, wild blue bonnets
    All along the freeway up to
    A longhorn steer is grazing by the river
    Down in Blanco at sunset
    There are some places you can call forever
    And some people you can't forget

    Sing to me, Willie
    All night long
    Your voice reminds me of my home
    Sing to me, Willie
    All night long
    Take me to Texas with a song

    [Willie Nelson]
    Painted ponies, sopapillas
    Sometimes the land is flat as a tortilla
    But the love that rises up to meet you
    Makes you feel that you never left

    [Edie Brickell]
    Play for me, Willie
    Play your guitar
    Take me to Texas with a song

    [Willie Nelson]
    Mockingbirds and cicadas
    Can be heard from Lubbok to Laredo
    A sweet breeze is blowing through the front yard
    Every evening at sunset

    Now there are places you recall forever
    And some people that you can't forget

    There are some places you recall forever
    And some people you can't forget

    There are some places you recall forever
    And some people you can't forget Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
