Willie Nelson

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 »

N: Are there any more real cowboys
N: Left out in these hills
N: Will the fire hit the iron one more time
N: And will one more dusty pick-up
N: Come rolling down the road
N: With a load of feed before the sun gets high
N: Well, I hope that working cowboy never dies

W: Not the one that's snortin' cocaine
W: When the honky-tonk's all closed
W: But the one that prays for more rain, heaven knows
W: That the good feed brings the money
W: And the money buys the clothes
W: Not the diamond sequins shining on TV
W: But the kind the working cowboy really needs

Both: Are there any more country families
Both: Still working hand in hand
Both: Trying hard to stay together and make a stand
Both: While the rows and rows of houses
Both: Come creepin' up on the land
Both: Where the cattle graze and an old gray barn still stands
Both: Are there any more real cowboys in this land
Both: Are there any more real cowboys in this land
