Party's Over

About Party's Over

"The Party's Over" is a song written by country music singer Willie Nelson during the mid-1950s. After arriving in Houston, Texas, Nelson was hired to play for the Esquire Ballroom band, where he would be allowed to close the shows singing the song. Guitar instructor and Nelson's friend Paul Buskirk forwarded the song to singer Claude Gray, who recorded the original version of the song, released as "My Party's Over" in 1959. Nelson recorded the song himself in 1966, which was released as a single in February 1967. It reached number twenty-four on Billboard's Hot Country Singles, and it was included as the title track of Nelson's album. The song was later popularized by former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and Monday Night Football host Don Meredith, who sang a line of the song on the broadcasts. more »

Turn out the lights 
The party's over 
They say that 
All good things must end
Call it tonight 
The party's over 
And tomorrow starts 
The same old thing again

But the crazy crazy party 
Never seen so many people
Laughing dancing 
Look at you you're having fun
But look at me 
I'm almost cryin' 
That don't keep her love from dyin'
Misery cause for me the party's over
Turn out the lights

Once I had a love undyin' 
I didn't keep it but I tried
Life for me was just one party 
And then another
I broke her heart so many times 
I had to have my parting wife
I had to have my party 
Why broke her heart so many times
But one day she said 
Sweetheart the party's over
Turn out the lights

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 »
