hey willie

hey willie let's pack up and catch us a slow train

and go back to phoenix to a far brighter day

where stars were for shining in the arizona sky

and music meant more than fortune or fame

willie

we wandered from border to border

singing our stories and living our songs

seems the farther we go

all that grows closer

is a mind full of memories we made years ago

hey willie let's pack up and catch us a slow train

and go back to phoenix to a far brighter day

where stars were for shining in the arizona sky

and music meant more than fortune or fame

we rolled through the towns like a bus load of gypsies

motels and hotels ain't no place to stay

the favors we're taking

the money we're making

won't pay for the living

we're giving away

hey willie let's pack up and catch us a slow train

and go back to phoenix to a far brighter day

where stars were for shining in the arizona sky

and music meant more than fortune or fame
