me and paul

Willie Nelson

It's been rough and rocky travelin',
But I'm finally standing upright on the ground.
And after takin' several readings,
I'm surprised to find my mind?s still fairly sound.
I thought 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.

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

It's been rough and rocky traveling
But I'm finally standin' upright on the ground.
And after takin' several readings,
I'm surprised to find my mind?s still fairly sound.
I thought Nashville was the roughest,
But I know I said the same about them all.

In the cities of the nation, me and Paul.
