I Just Dropped By

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 »

I just dropped by to see the house 
I used to live in
I hope that you don't mind 
I won't stay very long
So long ago someone and I lived here together 
And then so suddenly I found myself alone

I couldn't stand the thought 
Of living here without her
And so I moved away to let my memories die
But my memories outlived my own judgement

This may sounds strange to you 
But I just thought I'd drop by
The very door you're standing in 
She used to stand there

And wait for me to come home every night
And when I'd see her standing there 
I'd run to meet her

These things were on my mind so 
I just thought I'd drop by
I guess that I should leave 
Someone just might not understand

And I'm aware of how the neighbors like to cry
But you can tell them all today a happy man
Was in the neighborhood 
And he just thought he'd drop by
