Willie Nelson - Write Your Own Songs Lyrics
You call us heathens with zero respect for the law
We are only songwriters just writing our songs and that's all
We write what we live and we live what we write is that wrong
If you think it is Mr. Music Executive
Why don't you write your own songs
And don't listen to mine,they might run you crazy
They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too long
We're making you rich and you're already lazy
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs
Mr. Purified Country don't you know what the whole things about
Is your head up your ass so far that you can't pull it out
The world's getting smaller and everyone in it belongs
And if you can't see that Mr. Purified Country
Why don't you just write your own songs
And don't listen to mine,they might run you crazy
They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too long
We're making you rich and you're already lazy
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs

I love you Mr. Willie Nelson I'm 51 and since I was 10 I've loved you, thank you for being in this world if u ever get to Rsbg, Oregon please find me I'd love to see you once before im gone. Thanks
LOVE THIS !!!!!
Music Executives have destroyed the music industry. Willie hit the nail on the head with this song way back in the day.
I just happened to hear, on SiriusXM Outlaw County, today, a rather well done, remake of this song by Dale Watson and Ray Benson. Even after hearing the original version by the "Red Headed Stranger", I must say that I was equally impressed by the remake. Not taking away from the original, but rather a fitting tribute to a great, classic, tell it like it is, song and Willie. Much love and respect from a Native Texan transplanted to South Carolina !!!
this is mint
wow man I feel this
Soundtrack from Willie's Move "Songwriter" great movie!
yes it is, one of my favorites

I used to do this song. No one got, it but it sure made me feel better in front of a bunch of sheep line dancers. It was a waltz, had to tell them because it wasn't the song they learned to waltz by. Never heard the lyrics!! I got away with so much lyrically back in those days it's not funny. The four corners done in a circle... PFFFT. I retired from music because there was no interest in clubs for reality songs. Peace out.
what's a reality song
Amazing song to drink to after a hard day. Much love from Austin Texas
Love it.
These lyrics are just so right and true! Here's down to all the hypocites of the world!
