The instrumentation is very bluesy and I can see this song being picked up by blues performers, should they chance to hear the song. “Very Far To Crawl” closes out the album, a song about the end of a relationship and the desperation of someone looking to rekindle it. Willie remains in this mid-tempo honky-tonk mode with “She Made My Life” then shifts gears with “I’ll Try To Do Better Next Time”, a somewhat religiously themed slow song about trying to keep to the God’s path.
“I Ain’t Got No Nothin’ “ is a rollicking mid-tempo honky-tonk ballad that might as easily been played by Fats Domino, Bob Wills, or Amos Milburn with only slight changes of instrumentation.īut I ain’t got nothin’ ’cause you ain’t here with me Crazy chords Willie Nelson 1961 C A7 A F Em Dm G G7 C (C Bb A7) Im crazy Dm (Dm F) crazy for feeling so lonely G7 Im crazy G C Dm G G7 crazy for feeling.

I hear someone callin’, “Come in from the craziness” It’s an odd perspective but rather appropriate anyway. “Heaven Is Closed” is Willie’s take on reasons to keep living after his girl has left him. We’ve all been there – “It’s Friday and we’re ready to roar”. “Ready To Roar” kicks up the tempo for this western-swing flavored track. Mike Johnson plays some lovely steel guitar on this track. This song deals with the emotional effects of loss. Willie slows down the tempo for the contemplative “Something You Get Through”. Just when you think you made a new friend For most of us, after all it really comes down to one trusted companion. “Me and You” reflects the state of affairs that I think everyone experiences at one time or another. This song is about more of the problems associated with aging. This song features the harmonica playing of Mickey Raphael. I suppose all of us have been plagued with “Bad Breath” at one time or another, but as Willie notes “bad breath is better than no breath at all”. The next track is “Don’t Tell Noah”, a funky number somewhat difficult to characterize, but which reminds somewhat of the sort of lyrics that Mose Allison penned. One thing I learned about running the road
It’s getting hard to watch my pals check out View LYRICS of 1243 songs of Willie Nelson, including the top songs: These Lonely Nights - Home Motel - Everywhere I Go - Three Days - Ive Loved You All. This is a great song that country radio won’t play but which can be heard on Sirius XM and other sources. The album opens up with the title track, a song which poses the dilemma faced by the aging – we want to keep living but there are times when it seems that all of our friends are disappearing. Most of these songs were penned shortly after the release of last year’s Nelson release God’s Problem Child. Last Man Standing is the 2018 release for Willie, containing original songs co-written by Willie with the album’s producer Buddy Cannon. The public agreed the song spent 21 weeks on the country music charts, it became Patsy's signature song, and it turned Willie Nelson from an unknown to one of the most prolific and sought-after songwriters in Nashville.While Willie Nelson isn’t the last of the great country music stars of the 1950s and 1960s (Roy Clark, Jan Howard, Stonewall Jackson, Connie Smith, Charley Pride and Bill Anderson are still around), the title still seems appropriate as Willie is one of the few still active, albeit less active than previously. Despite Nelson's original arrangement, the complex melody was perfectly suited to Cline's vocal talents and style, and slowing it down brought that out. But her producer, Owen Bradley, loved it, and to make it more palatable to Cline he arranged it as a much slower ballad.
Jukeboxes blasted this song out, it seemed like, because it just sounds better good and loud I think. The story goes that when it was first presented to Patsy Cline she hated it. Willie Nelson's Song Whiskey River Willie Nelson's song, Whiskey River, played in every honky-tonk, every bar and on every jukebox, that I am aware of back in the mid 1970's and early 1980's. And Willie Nelson's original arrangement was fast and somewhat jerky. The song is quirky the lyrics describe the singer's state of bemusement at the singer's own helpless love for the object of his affection. Plenty of other people, including Willie, have recorded it - Linda Ronstadt, Julio Iglesias, Kenny Rogers, Dottie West, the Waifs, and LeAnn Rimes to name a few - but it's famous and beloved because Patsy Cline sang it. Not so much because Willie wrote it (although I think there's no arguing the fact that only he could have written this song), but because it was made immortal by the late, great Patsy Cline. I'm a huge Willie Nelson fan, and "Crazy" has always been one of my favorite Willie tunes.
