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 »

(Dolly Parton)

If you hear me crying in the night 
Pretend that you don't hear me it's alright 
Don't ask me why I'm crying, please don't make a sound 
I don't know why, it's just the way I am 
And if you think I act a little strange 
And you don't understand when I do things 
Like running through the fields while the rain is pouring down 
I don't know why, it's just the way I am 

And even though you may not understand me 
I hope that you'll accept me like I am 
For there are many sides of me, my mind and spirit must be free 
And I might smile when other folks would frown 
I don't know why, it's just the way I am 

I might go out chasing butterflies 
And if I fail to catch one I might cry 
And if you want me you might find me in the meadow walking 'round 
I don't know why, it's just the way I am 

I might be home and busy cleaning house 
And in the middle of my work I might go out 
And go play games with children at the playground 
It makes me happy, and that's just the way I am 

And even though you may not understand me 
I hope that you'll accept me like I am 
For there are childish sides of me 
My mind and spirit must be free 
I might smile when you think I should frown 
I don't know why, it's just the way I am
