E A
Hey Willie let's pack up and catch us a slow train
D G
And go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day
E A
Where stars were for shining in the Arizona sky
D G
And music meant more than fortune or fame
verse 1
C/G G
Willie,we wandered from border to border
D G
Singing our stories and living our songs
C/G G
Seems the farther we go,all that grows closer
A D
Is a mind full of memories we made years ago
verse 2
C/G G
We rolled through the towns like a bus load of gypsies
D G
Motels and hotels ain't no place to stay
C/G G
The favors we're taking,the money we're making
A D
Won't pay for the living,we're giving away
