Sad Songs and Waltzes

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'm writing a song all about you
A true song as real as my tears
But you've no need to fear it
'Cause no one will hear it
'Cause sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year

I'll tell all about how you cheated
I'd like for the whole world to hear
I'd like to get even with you 'cause you're leavin'
But sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year

It's a good thing that I'm not a star
You don't know how lucky you are
And though my record may say it, no one will play it
'Cause sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year

Well, it's a good thing that I'm not a star
You don't know how lucky you are
And though my record may say it, no one will play it
'Cause sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year
Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year
