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 »

The tables are empty
The dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song 
It's the tenth time you've heard it

But that's the beginning 
Yeah, just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson 
In learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light
One after another
Won't help you forget her 
And the way that you love her

You're only burnin' a torch that you can't lose
But you're on the right track 
For learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep 
The whole night you're cryin'
But you can't forget her 
Soon you even stop tryin'

You walk that floor 
And wear out your shoes
And when you feel your heart break 
You're learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory

And the nights when you don't sleep
That whole night you're cryin'
But you can't forget her 
Soon you even stop tryin'

You'll walk the floor 
And wear out your shoes
And When you feel your heart break
You're learnin' the blues
When you feel your heart break
You're learnin' those blues
