TommyK Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I heard this one on the electric radio this a.m. Hadn't heard it in a while. Anyone know who Willie is signin' about? Me and Paul by Willie Nelson It's been rough and rocky travelin', But I'm finally standin' upright on the ground. After takin' several readings, I'm surprised to find my mind`s still fairly sound. I guess Nashville was the roughest, But I know I said the same about them all. We received our education In the cities of the nation, me and Paul. Almost busted in Laredo, But for reasons that I'd rather not disclose, But if you're stayin' in a motel there and leave, Just don't leave nothin' in your clothes. And at the airport in Milwaukee, They refused to let us board the plane at all, They said we looked suspicious, But I believe they like to pick on me and Paul. I guess Nashville was the roughest, But I know I said the same about them all. We received our education In the cities of the nation, me and Paul.

G u e s t Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 . . Just to add to ajsc's post..... Paul English, Willie Nelson's longtime drummer started playing with him in 1955, and back then he was also Willie's strong-arm heavy, and debt-collector for overdue payments from club owners for the band. After some 54 years knocking around together, they probably HAVE learnt a bit along the way..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks! I figured it was someone he spent a lot of road time with. I looked him up: http://stillisstillmoving.com/?cat=70 Scroll about half way down. He's all smiles, but I suspect he knew his way around a hand full of knuckles and would be good to have on your side in a dark alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
