Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

My heart was a dancer, no you don't need to know her name
She could turn on a nickel and give you back four cents in change
My heart was a dancer, she made her living on her toes
And what she ever saw in me, only God in Heaven knows

I used to sit at my table, just me and whisky all alone
Watching my heart dance and each night I'd try to take her home
Others would try to show my heart a better way to feel 
My heart was a dancer, oh, heart please don't be still

My heart was a dancer, I'd love to see her dancin' now
Pretty and graceful, still beating just for me somehow
My heart was a dancer, another lifetime ago
She was real for me before the others it was all just a show

I used to sit at my table, just me and whisky all alone
Watching my heart dance and each night I'd try to take her home
Others would try to show my heart a better way to feel 
My heart was a dancer, oh, heart, please don't be still
My heart was a dancer, oh, heart, please don't be still
