That's my favorite part, rewind my life on.
When my world got dark, and you turned my light on.
I watched it for hours again and again in my head.
I did.
I see I was down on you, more than I needed to be.
I'd say I'm sorry but then you'd think I'm lyin'

Maria, shut up and kiss me.
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me.
I bet you're gonna miss me. You need me. Believe me.

Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on.

That's my favorite shirt, you always had on.
Man, It sure looked good, ev'ry time you walked on.
You're takin' the wind from me every chance that you could.
You're good.
Somethin' I can't explain.
You tell me lately I've changed.
If you feel better tell me why are you cryin'?

Maria, shut up and kiss me.
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me.
I bet you're gonna miss me. You need me. Believe me.

Maria, Maria can we talk it over instead?
Let's call it even and leave it alone.
Come to bed.

Maria, stop leavin' your teasin' is beaten me down.
Maria just calm down
In these situations I've found it's best not to be proud
And say that you're sorry.

Maria, shut up and kiss me.
Stop shakin', stand up and hold me.
I bet you're gonna miss me. You need me. Believe me.

Maria shut up and kiss me
You're crazy and it turns me on and on
The way you're carryin' on.

And it turns me on and on.
On and on
On and on
And it turns me on and on.
On and on
On and on
On and on and on and on...

I think is ironic that a lot of people not liking Willie Nelson, like this song which is pretty much a very commercial attempt not to sound like himsefl...why this track Bill??

Yeah Willie! Not a great one but it's a start...

Eh... pretty boring drum lines in the background. Not one of Willie's best efforts.

One of my favorite CDs for roadtrips. All the songs are good. Especially the duet with Kid Rock.

What has 120 legs and 7 teeth? The front row at a Willie Nelson concert. -- Willie Nelson

So, I'm sitting here, typing away on a manuscript, and I hear this song. I mutter aloud, "That sure sounds like Willy - really." Lo and behold, it is. Good song - light, more cheerful than his usual "prison/drugs/hard-knocks" topics. He carries it well - surprisingly well, in fact, considering everything he's been through. Love it.

Um, I thought I was imagining it, but no, it says right there, this is Willie. I just can't believe it. Good career choice on his part to do this one.

GREAT! I greaw up on Willie with my father - Stardust rings a sweet string in my heart. This song really brings it all back. Gotta introduce it to my wife.
"Stardust" is an excellent work. It would be nice to hear some of that cd here.

A woman goes into a bar and says to the bartender, "i have a famous face tattooed on each of my inner thighs." The bartender says he would like to see them. The woman opens her legs to reveal no panties, and a tattoo of Johnny Cash on one leg and a tattoo of Roseanne Cash on the other. The bartender says, "Well, i'm not sure who the ones on the left and right are, but the one in the middle looks like Willie Nelson."

Wow, someone gave this a one. YUP. And I just gave it another "one". C'mon, Willie is great, but this song's got to be dragging the dregs of his talent. Just 'cause you like the artist doesn't mean everything they touch is gold. Case in point: this song. The one thing I can say for it though is that it did get my attention.

Great song, I'm not usually a Willie Nelson fan, but this one had complicated vocals and a catchy tune, I give it an 8. =)

Good choice Bill and crew, keep this one in rotation. His voice is kinda like a trumpet, no? Is it just me that thinks that?

Hey how old is this song? This is GREAT!

Wow, someone gave this a one. Oh well. Cool to hear Willie Nelson. I'm not his biggest fan but you have to respect a talent that's been around as long as he has, is still putting out music and and still has a large loyal fan base. Enjoyable piece to listen to.

With sincere apologies to his fans, this is the first Willie Nelson cut I\'ve ever wanted a copy of.
Posted 20 years ago by philarktos    [ Reply ]
Surely Willie has better songs? This just isn\'t very good. There\'s a lot of crap going on in the background, which would be fine, except that Willie\'s voice doesn\'t mesh well with any of it.
