Keep Me from Blowing Away

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 »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Well, I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round

I squandered emotion
On the slightest of notions
And the first easy loving I found

But soon all of the good times
The gay times and play times
Like colors run together and fade
Oh Lord, if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away

There are times when I trembled 
When my mind remembered
The days that just crumbled away

With nothin' to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face

Oh Lord, if you're listening 
I know, I'm no Christina
And I ain't got much coming to me
So send down some sunshine
And throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing

Oh Lord, if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
Keep me from blowing away
