Generate meaning
1
Me and Willie played in a country band
2
Seven long years together playing those one night stands
3
Used to say the booze and bars is going to wear him out
4
Hold On, a song he wrote tear your heart right out
5
We traveled the northern route and from the Greate Lakes to Monreal
6
Hitting all the honky-tonks, I bet we played them all
7
Willie played to ease his soul and drank to ease his mind
8
I never understood how he played it so good while drinking himself half blind
9
And you wouldn't think a man so weak could be so strong
10
Take a crowd of rowdy drunks and hush them with a song
11
And I'd rather be singing my heart out in a dark and dingy bar
12
Hitting those high notes with Willie's sad guitar
13
And I'd rather be singing a blues song, singing sweet and high
14
Willie standing right by my side playing country slide
15
Me and Willie watched a lot of dreams die young
16
Plans we made how quick they fade, fumbling one by one
17
Willie never let it bother him and if he did, it didn't show
18
You know he had a way of letting go and sing the blue times old
19
And you wouldn't think a man so weak could be so strong
20
Take the blues right out of you and put them in a song
21
I'd rather be singing a blues song, singing sweet and high
22
Willie standing right by my side playing country slide
23
I left Willie in a bar in Marietta
24
Couldn't stand to watch the man I love drink himself to death
25
Now I'm working in Ottawa and I'm doing well I guess
26
You know the good life don't look so good from behind a desk
27
And I'd rather be singing a blues song, singing sweet and high
28
Willie standing right by my side playing country slide
