When Willies Gone

[Verse 1]
He's always been there with me, every mile out on the road
Me I did the drivin', Wille he sang on the radio
Oh, you love him or you hate him but a hundred million records can't be wrong
Whiskey River will never be the same, when Willie's gone

[Chorus]
The Red Headed Stranger, who lived the life that's written in his songs
He's the last of the outlaws and even though his music will live on
I wonder how the world is gonna be and what's country music gonna mean
and who's gonna smoke all of the weed?
A
When Willie's gone

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A young man in Atlanta, standing in the pouring rain
I'd travelled half way round the world, just to watch old Willie play
I was feeling cold and lonesome when he sang "Always on my Mind"
And I thought about you home and all alone with tears in my eyes

[Chorus]
The Red Headed Stranger, who lived the life that's written in his songs

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Oh,The Red Headed Stranger, who lived the life that's written in his songs
