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 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

Well, 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 still fairly sound
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

On a package show in Buffalo
With us and Kitty Wells and Charley Pride
The show was long and we're just sittin' there
And we'd come to play and not just for the ride
Well, we drank a lot of whiskey
So I don't know if we went on that night at all
I don't think they even missed us
I guess Buffalo ain't geared for
Me and Paul

Well, 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 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
