Write Your Own Songs - Willie Nelson

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
