Navajo Trail (with Willie Nelson & The Quebe Sisters) - Asleep At The Wheel

It's been that way since the git go It's been that way since the git go Well, it's been that way since the git go Lord, it's always been that way Woman shined the apple, and the man had to take a bite Anything that good, God knows, just had to be right Well they woke up naked with a bit headache He been done in by a slippery snake A man and a woman get to live a while and then they die It's been that way since the git go It's been that way since the git go It's been that way since the git go Lord, it's always been that way Politicians make promises that they can't keep They keep printin' money 'til they get in way too deep It's the same old lesson, they never learn Too busy workin' on their next term Politicians keep makin' fools out of you and me It's been that way since the git go It's been that way since the git go It's been that way since the git go It's always been that way Money breeds war, as long as there's a man alive Rich kids go to college, and the poor kids fight High-rollers crap out every time, roll a soldier's bones like loaded dice War is the beast that makes every mother cry It's been that way since the git go It's been that way since the git go It's been that way since the git go Lord, it's always been that way He told the truth, and they hung him up to die The son of God who created you and I He said it in the Good Book and letters in red But we keep on forgettin' every thing He said Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and I It's been that way since the git go It's been that way since the git go It's been that way since the git go Lord, it's always been that way It's been that way since the git go It's been that way since the git go It's been that way since the git go Lord, it's always been that way

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

Touch me, touch the hand of a man who once owned all the world And touch me, touch the arms that once held all the charms of the world's sweetest girl Touch me, maybe someday you may need to know how it feels when you lose And so touch me, and you'll know how you feel with the blues Watch me, watch the eyes that have seen all the heart breaking pain in the land And be thankful you're happy though standing so close to the world's bluest man Don't forget me, take a good look at someone who's lost everything he can lose And then touch me and you'll know how you'd feel with the blues Don't forget me take a good look at someone who's lost everything he can lose And then touch me and you'll know how you'd feel with the blues

The clubs were all closed Streets dark and empty There seems a threat Every breath seems to tempt me Live life like we used to For those days we've had But we'll be together In better times Times when we join hands Neighbors and friends Times when the good times Together never end Times when we gather Ties that bind But we'll be together again In better times Friends on the street They all look like Jesse James Mask up at distant They just don't look the same Concerts and parties And football game Virtual everything's Just ain't the same Tired of 2020 Ready to flee Tired of being lonely Yearning to breathe free Remember the rhythm Remember the rhyme 'Cause we'll be together again In better times Friends on the street They all look like Jesse James Mask up at distant They just don't look the same Concerts and parties And football game Virtual everything's Just ain't the same Tired of 2020 Ready to flee Tired of being lonely Yearning to breathe free Remember the rhythm Remember the rhyme 'Cause we'll be together again In better times

I'm like a blind man driving, down both sides of the road I got nine hours behind me, I got nine more to go I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away I got my foot down to the floorboards, I'm in a one care race While my radio is slapping country tunes across my face I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away Well these pretzel sticks at Denny's don't give me much relief I got one eye on the State Patrol, the other eye is asleep I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away With my eyes part open dreaming, about sleeping in my bed Sinking deep into my pillow, till I gently lose my head I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away Oh this coffee just ain't working but I'll try another cup If my baby were here with me she'd know how to keep me up I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away I got all my windows open, got my head out in the wind I got J.C. on my dashboard, just in case I need a friend I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away My head is getting heavy, my eyes are killing me If I don't keep them open, I'll be looking up a tree I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away

I built my love a house from the bottom to the top Did it all with my hands and the wood I chopped Then the times got rough, we had to sell our home But we kept our love, and we're still going strong That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives We've had our ups and downs, we yell instead of talk Well, we both ran around in a state of shock Lonely and afraid, we looked inside our hearts Found our love survived shining through the dark That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives
