The passing of Neil Armstrong today reminded me of another great American who I recently read hasn’t been doing too well lately: Willie Nelson. | |
I was never much of a “country” music fan until I got to Germany while I was serving in the Army. My roommate was from Dallas, Texas and had been a DJ while working his way through college. Anyway, he liked lots of different types of music, but was particularly fond of country and was a big fan of Willie’s. Many is the night we sat around listening to Willie, drinking and playing cards. | |
Although my roommate was a “typically” obnoxious Texan about most things, he did manage to pass on to me a deep appreciation for country music and I’ll always be grateful for that. | |
Anyway, here’s the lyrics to one of my favorite Willie Nelson songs: “Always On My Mind“. I think all hard-working family men will be able to appreciate the words and the spirit of the song. And hopefully, a bunch of you long suffering wives will too… | |
As always, enjoy the lyrics and then go listen to Willie sing it. It’s been covered by loads of others, so take your pick of your favorite… | |
And, Willie, get well soon. You’re in our thoughts and prayers. | |
