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)

The bright lights of the city are a pretty site to see 
Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me 
Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be 
So mama when you pray tonight 
Say a special prayer for me 
I miss your tender good-night kiss of love and understanding 
The good-night kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding 
So mama when you pray tonight 
And while you're on your knees 
Mama say a special prayer for me 

The nights get cold and lonely 
When you're faraway from home 
And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong 
Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me 
So mama when you pray tonight 
Say a special prayer for me 

I miss your tender good-night kiss of love and understanding 
These good-night kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding 
So mama when you pray tonight 
And while you're on your knees 
Mama say a special prayer for me
