A Willie Nice Christmas (feat. Willie Nelson) - Kacey Musgraves

Well, I've had a wonderful career But I think it's quite queer So I'm writing this down in a song I just couldn't resist 'Cause it's a nice little twist And I think you'll agree this is just wrong I ain't never got to sing one with Willie And I've held it inside long enough Now I ain't too proud, I'm gonna shout it out loud I ain't never got to sing one with Willie Now I've heard him with Merle, Waylon, and Cash Jones and Toby, that man is totally gracious But I'm thinking: damn, why not me? We could even sing it on TV Just like him and old Julio Iglesias I ain't never got to sing one with Willie And I've held it inside long enough Now I ain't too proud, I'm gonna shout it out loud I ain't never got to sing one with Willie We've traveled back and forth Up and down all the highways Wherever our big buses can go But I think that it's great To finally sing one with Strait And our friends will all love it, I know (But I'm loving it, too, Willie) I finally get to sing one with Strait Well, I think that it's been long enough I'm mighty proud, just listen to the crowd I finally got to sing one with George Strait Look at me now, I'm singing with Willie Thank you, man, you just made my career Well, you shoulda said something, Strait I always thought we would sound great And I finally got to sing one with old George Yeah, I am really proud So I'm shouting it out loud I finally got to sing one With old George With old Willie

Shotgun Willie sits around in his underwear Bitin' on a bullet, pullin' out all of his hair A shotgun Willie has got all of his family there Well, you can't make a record if you ain't got nothin' to say You can't make a record if you ain't got nothin' to say You can't play music if you don't know nothin' to play A shotgun Willie sits around in his underwear Bitin' on a bullet, pullin' out all of his hair Shotgun Willie has got all of his family there Now, John T. Fours was workin' with the Klu Klux Klan The six foot five John T. was a hell of a man Made a lot of money sellin' sheets on the family plan A shotgun Willie sits around in his underwear Bitin' on a bullet and pullin' out all of his hair A shotgun Willie has got all of his family there

Drinkin' a black coffee in a little motel lobby Waitin' on the band to come down I've been travelin' across Texas In a little station wagon And draggin' a trailer around I do the drivin' They do the drinkin' That's how I keep us alive We played a good show Last night in Waco We still got an eight-hour drive If I ever get old, I'll still love the road Still love the way that it winds Now when the last song's been played I'll look back and say I sure had a beautiful time Now we're packed up and rollin' Who cares where we're goin' The radio's playin' sweet country sounds Got the sun on my skin My hair's in the wind And all of the windows rolled down If I ever get old, I'll still love the road Still love the way that it winds When the last song's been played I'll look back and say I sure had a beautiful time They're havin' a party In the back seat, whoa, Lordy Looks like they're all out of beer They're laughin' at good jokes Rollin' the good smoke Why don't y'all pass that one up here? If I ever get old, I'll still love the road I'll still love the way that it winds When the last song's been played I'll look back and say I sure had a beautiful time I sure had a beautiful time

A showman's life is a smokey bar And the fevered chase of a tiny star It's a hotel room and a lonely wife From what I've seen of a showman's life Nobody told me about this part They told me all about the pretty girls And the wine and the money and the good times There's no mention of all the wear and tear On an old honky tonker's heart Well I might have known it But nobody told me about this part A boy will dream as children do Of a great white way, until the dream comes true And a phony smile in a colored light Is all there is to a showman's life Nobody told me about this part They told me all about the pretty girls And the wine and the money and the good times There's no mention of all the wear and tear On an old honky tonker's heart Well I might have known it But nobody told me about this part And nobody told me about this part They told me all about the pretty girls And the wine and the money and the good times There's no mention of, all the wear and tear On an old honky tonker's heart Well I might have known it But nobody told me about this part Well I might have known it Nobody told me about this part

Picked you out and picked you up Hoping that my luck would change I let the summer fill my lungs And superstition fill my brain Dandelion A million little wishes float across the sky But it's a waste of breath and it's a waste of time I know Cause just like him, you always leave me cryin' dandelion Sent you dancing on the breeze And like a stupid little girl I spent my wishes on a weed Thinking it could change my world Dandelion A million little wishes float across the sky But it's a waste of breath and it's a waste of time I know Cause just like him, you always leave me cryin' dandelion Falling stars and lucky pennies Have let me down so many times before And you're just one more Oh, dandelion Oh, dandelion I'm always blowing kisses out across the sky But it's a waste of breath and it's a waste of time I know Cause just like him, you always leave me cryin' dandelion Dandelion

If I was an angel, I wouldn't have to try So hard to save you or show you how to fly If I was an angel, I wouldn't get so mad It'd be easy to be grateful for everything I have You'd only get the best of me I'd pull you out of the darkness Keep you out of the rain Everything would be better I'd never have to change I'd never have to change If I was an angel I'd use only pretty words And when I'm talking to you It would never hurt You'd only get the best of me I'd never make you wanna leave I'd pull you out of the darkness Keep you out of the rain Everything would be better You'd never have to change You'd never have to change But something's gotta change I'd pull you out of the darkness Always keep you safe Everything would be better I'd never have to change I'd never have to change

Your heart's as heavy as the stones you throw Can't see the flowers for the weeds you grow You blow your bubbles just to watch 'em burst For you it's always bad to worse And you... can't win unless you lose You try to tell me you want happiness But you ain't happy unless You're miserable Your neighbor's dirty laundry's cleaner And the wolf at your door's always meaner The sky's still grey when the sun's around But you can't set sail if your anchor's down And you... can't win unless you lose You try to tell me you want happiness But you ain't happy unless You're miserable I'm miserable Can't liven up for the both of us We have enough for the whole of us If misery loves company Then I can't keep you company no more You You You You... can't win unless you lose You try to tell me you want happiness But you ain't happy unless You're miserable

Bursting with empathy, I'm feeling everything The weight of the world on my shoulders Hope my tears don't freak you out They're just kinda coming out It's the music in me and all of the colours Wish we didn't live Wish we didn't live so far from each other I'm just sitting here Thinkin' 'bout the time that's slipping And missing my mother Mother And she's probably sitting there Thinking 'bout the time that's slipping And missing her mother Mother

I pick those tomatoes we grew off the vine They look out the window, just killing time I reach for the phone just to make sure it's on And I'm fine I put on my makeup for no one at all My heels on the hardwood echo down the hall And I open the wardrobe, put my face in your clothes And I'm fine I try to sleep, I just lie here awake I've stopped counting sheep, now I just count the days 'Til you're back in this bed that I remake every time And if they ask, I'll say I'm fine Just like the circus, you always leave town I can't help but cry when that big top comes down But I leave the light on and when you get back home We'll be fine And I'll try to sleep but just lie here awake I've stopped counting sheep, now I just count the days 'Til you're back in this bed that I remake every time And if they ask, I'll say I'm fine They always say you don't get to choose The same old cliché, love chooses you So, baby, I'll wait just like I always do And I'll try to sleep, but just lie here awake I've stopped counting sheep, now I just count the days 'Til you're back in this bed that I remake every time And if they ask, I'll say I'm fine Hmm, hmm
