The Chokin' Kind

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

I only meant to love you don't you know it babe
Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave
I've given you my heart and now you want my mind
Your love scares me to death, girl 
'Cause it's the chokin' kind

You can kill a man with bullets poison or a knife
But it hurts him more to take his pride and ruin his life
Whatever it is you want, girl, I hope you find
But that hat don't fit my head 
'Cause it's the chokin' kind

When you fall in love again, girl, take a tip from me
If you don't like the peaches, walk on by the tree
Find what you want and keep it, treat it sweet and kind
But let it breathe, don't make your love 
The chokin' kind
Let it breathe, don't make your love 
The chokin' kind
