Willie Nelson Naked Willie Lyrics
1.Bring Me Sunshine

Bring me sunshine in your smile
Bring me laughter all the while
In this world where we live
There should be more happiness
So much joy you can give
To each brand new bright tomorrow

Make me happy through the years
Never bring me any tears
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love

Bring me sunshine in your smile
Bring me laughter all the while
In this world where we live
There should be more happiness
So much joy you can give
To each brand new bright tomorrow

Make me happy through the years
Never bring me any tears
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love

Bring me sunshine in your smile
Bring me laughter all the while
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love


2.Following Me Around

She always follows me from town to town
at least her mem'ries follow me around
Whenever I clear my mind so she can see
I feel her love come rushing into me
I know that I will never be the law
looks as though her memory's bound to haunt
And I know my love will always stay in bounds
With her memory always follow me around
Follow me around follow me around
follow me around follow me around
And I know my love will always stay in bounds
With her memory always following me around

Follow me around follow me around...
With her memory always following me around


3.The Ghost

The silence is unusually loud tonight,
The strange sound of nothing fills my ears.
Then night rushes in like a crowd of nights,
And the ghost of our old love appears.

This strange world of darkness,
That comes with the night,
Grows darker when it walks my way.
Then it laughs while I listen for the breakin' of day,
An' the ghost of our old love goes away

This strange world of darkness,
That comes with the night,
Grows darker when it walks my way.
Then it laughs while I listen for the breakin' of day,
An' the ghost of our old love goes away


4.Happiness Lives next Door

I'm sorry, but you've come to the wrong house.
But I know who those flowers are for.
The flowers that you have are for someone who's happy,
And happiness lives next door.

Someone sends her flowers each evening,
And her young heart is flooded with joy.
So don't keep her waiting, deliver the flowers,
To happiness, who lives next door.

The only one who would send flowers to me,
Is gone to return no more.
But there's some consolation to know someone is happy,
And happiness lives next door.

The only one who would send flowers to me,
Is gone to return no more.
But there's some consolation to know someone is happy,
And happiness lives next door.


5.I Just Dropped By

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 I lived in 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 mem'ries die
But my mem'rys of her I just can't stand
This may sounds strange to you
but I just thought I dropped by

The very door you're standing in she used to stand there
And wait for me to come home every night
When I see her standing there I'd run to meet her
These things were on my mind so I just thought I dropped 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 most I'm happy man
Was in the neighborhood and he just thought he'd drop by


6.Jimmy's Road

This is Jimmy's road where Jimmy liked to play
This is Jimmy's grass where Jimmy liked to lay around
This is Jimmy's tree where Jimmy liked to climb
But Jimmy went to war and something changed his mind
This is the battle ground where Jimmy learned to kill
Now Jimmy has a trade and Jimmy knows it well too well
This is Jimmy's grave where Jimmy's body lies
When a soldier falls Jimmy's body dies and dies
Well this is Jimmy's road where Jimmy likes to play
This is Jimmy's grass where Jimmy likes to lay around


7.I Let My Mind Wander

I let my mind wander,
And what did it do?
It just kept right on going,
Until it got back to you.
Can't trust it one minute,
It's worse than a child.
Disobeys without conscience,
It's drivin' me wild,
When I let my mind wander.

Try to keep my mind busy,
On thoughts of today.
But invariably, memories,
Seem to lure it away.

My lonely heart wonders,
If there'll ever come a day,
When I can be happy,
But I can't see no way,
'Cause I let my mind wander.

I try to keep my mind busy,
With thoughts of today.
But invariably, mem'ries,
Seem to lure it away.

My lonely heart wonders,
If there'll ever come a day,
When I can be happy,
But I can't see no way,
'Cause I let my mind wander


8.If You Could See What's Going Through My Mind


9.Johnny One Time

So he told you that you're the dream that he's been searching
for
And he told you that he'd never met anyone like you before
And I can hear him telling you your lips taste just like sherry
wine
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time

Did he tell you that your heart would soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing
parts
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time

So he told you that he'd never lead your heart astray
And he told you that he'd love you forever and a day
And I can hear him telling you that he's the shy and bashful
kind
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time

Oh, did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
And did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing
parts
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Oh, did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time.


10.The Local Memory

The lights go out each evening at eleven
And up and down our block there's not a sound
I close my eyes and search for peaceful slumber
And just then the local mem'ry comes around
Piles of blues against the door to make sure sleep will come no
more
He's the hardest working mem'ry in this town
Turns out happiness againand then lets loneliness back in
And each night the local mem'ry comes around

Each day I say tonight I may escape him
I pretend I'm happy and never even a frown
But at night I close my eyes and pray sleep finds me
But again the local mem'ry comes around
Rids the house of all good news then sets out my crying shoes
What a faithful mem'ry never lets me down
We're both up till light of day chasing happiness away
And each night the local mem'ry comes around
And each night the local mem'ry comes around


11.The Party's Over

Turn out the lights
The party's over
They say that
All good things must end
Call it tonight
The party's over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again

But the crazy crazy party
Never seen so many people
Laughing dancing
Look at you you're having fun
But look at me
I'm almost cryin'
That don't keep her love from dyin'
Misery cause for me the party's over
Turn out the lights...
Once I had a love undyin'
I didn't keep it but I tried
Life for me was just one party
And then another
I broke her heart so many times
I had to have my parting wife

Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights...
The party's over
The party's over
They say that
They say that
All good things must end
All good things must end
Call it tonight
Call it tonight
The party's over
The party's over
And tomorrow starts
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again
The same old thing again

And tomorrow starts
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again
The same old thing again


12.Where Do You Stand

I'm somewhere behind you
You've come with your suitcase in hand
Hey what you plan where do you stand
The world's still divided
and you're still undersided the side if you can
Hey what you plan where do you stand
Where do you stand where do you stand
Hey what you plan where do you stand

It's time for commitments
It's time for a showing up hands
Hey what you plan where do you stand
Surely there's someone with courage
To say where he stands
Hey what you plan where do you stand
Where do you stand...
Where do you stand...


13.When We Live Again

When we live again
When we live again
Let's relive again
The time we know now
I'll find your face again
We'll find our place again
Let's plan to meet again, dear
When we live again
I'll know you by love and wisdom
In your eyes
And I'll wait for you
Outside the chambers of the wise
And let's not lose the day
The progress love has me
Let's plan to love again, dear
When we live again
I'll know you by love and wisdom
In your eyes
And I'll wait for you
Outside the chambers of the wise
And let's not lose the day
The progress love has me
Let's plan to love again, dear
When we live again


14.What Can You Do Top Me Now

What can you do to me now
That you haven't done to me already
You broke my pride and made me cry out loud
What can you do to me now

I'm seeing things that I never thought I'd see
You've opened up the eyes inside of me
How long have you been doing this to me
I'm seeing sides of me that I can't believe

Someway somehow I'll make a man of me
I will build me back the way I used to be
Much stronger now the second time around cause
What can you do to me now
What can you do to me now...


15.I'm A Memory

I'm a game that you used to play
I'm a plan that you didn't lay so well
I'm a fire that burns in your mind
Close your eyes I'm a memory
I'm a love that you know from a song
I'm a voice on a green telephone
And I'm a day that lasted so long
Close your eyes I'm a memory

I'm a dream that comes with the night
And I'm a face that fades with the light
And I'm a tear that falls out of sight
Close your eyes I'm a memory


16.Sunday Morning Coming Down

On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned
Cause there's something in a Sunday
makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing sure to dying
half as lonesome as the sound
On a sleepy city sidewalk
Sunday morning coming down

Well I woke up Sunday morning
with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast
wasn't bad so I had one more for desert
Then I fumbled through my closet
for my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stair to meet the day
I'd smoke my brain the night before
with cigarettes and songs I'd been a picking
But I lit my first and watched the small kid
cussin' at a can that he was kicking
Then I crossed the empty street and caught
The Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to something
that I'd lost somewhere somehow along the way
On a Sunday morning sidewalk...

In the park I saw a daddy
with the laughing little girl that he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
and listened to the songs they were singing
Then I headedback for home and somewhere
far away a lonely bell was ringing

And it echoed through the canyons
like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
On a Sunday morning sidewalk...

Coming down coming down


17.Laying My Burdens Down

Well I used to walk stooped from the weight of my
tears I just started laying my burdens down I used
to duck bullets from the rifle of fear I just
started laying my burdens down Oh I'm layin' 'em
down I just started laying my burdens down Oh lay
I'm layin' em down I just started laying my
burdens down

The flesh ain't nothing but the bark on a tree I
just started laying my burdens down The tree ain't
nothing but the soul in me I just started laying
my burdens down Oh I'm layin' 'em down...

My soul took love on a hell of a ride I just
started laying my burdens down A soul ain't
nothing but the car love drives I just started
laying my burdens down Oh I'm layin' 'em down...

Love said Mama can I come on home I just started
laying my burdens down And God said son you ain't
never been gone I just started laying my burdens
down Oh I'm layin' 'em down...
