Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.

More quotes by Willie Nelson
When evolution has been outlawed, only the outlaws will evolve.
Willie Nelson
I don't remember Moses writing, 'Thou shalt not kill.. unless you think you have a good reason.
Willie Nelson
I never gave up on country music because I knew what I was doing was not that bad.
Willie Nelson
All I do is play music and golf - which one do you want me to give up?
Willie Nelson
I started writing cheating songs when I was too young to have any idea what I was writing about - broken hearts and things like that. I just think it was something I already knew, something I had experienced in another lifetime.

I like marijuana because it keeps me from killing people. And I think there are a lot of people out there who are just like me. The reason it's not legal is because most people get up in the morning and get high, then forget to go out and vote for it.
Willie Nelson
Do something bad a thousand times and it's no big deal. Everyone just goes, Willie f - up again.
Willie Nelson
There are just certain sounds, music, that sort of you know people are going to like it.
Willie Nelson
I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B.
Willie Nelson
If you want to make marijuana legal, you've got to stay straight long enough to f - vote.
Willie Nelson
I see this [biodiesel] as a way for the farmer to grow fuel and food and put him back in business again
Willie Nelson
Air you breathe is bad for your lungs so you've got to careful and don't overdue any bad air. Too much pot, too much anything is not good. Your lung is a piece of flesh, a piece of bone. You can injure it.
Willie Nelson
Sometimes there is a 36-piece orchestra going off in my stomach.
Willie Nelson
Be here. Be present. Wherever you are, be there.
Willie Nelson
One thing I learned is that the mind, rather than being the master, should be the servant of the heart.
Willie Nelson
(Songwriting) It's a gift. It all comes from somewhere. I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn't lived long enough to experience.
Willie Nelson
Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time You were always on my mind
Willie Nelson
If you really want to get along with somebody, let them be themselves.
Willie Nelson
