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 »

Butterfly, tell me if you even know
If you're going where you wanna go
And if you're showing all you need to show

Butterfly, do you ever get to stay?
Or do you always fly away, 
Pretty butterfly

I have held you, with tender gentle hands
But you're complicated and I don't understand

Is it just your story?
Do you always ride the wind?
Will you be flying away, 
The same way you flew here

Butterfly, tell me if you even know
If you're going where you wanna go
And if you're showing all you need to show

Butterfly, do you ever get to stay?
Or do you always fly away, 
Pretty butterfly

Butterfly, do you ever get to stay?
Or do you always fly away, 
Pretty butterfly

Do you always fly away?
Pretty butterfly
