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
Writing books is fun because after I do a show for a couple hours, I'm in a bus for 22 hours. It's not hard for me to look out the window and tell a joke here and there.
Willie Nelson
I'm crazy for trying, crazy for crying, and I'm crazy for loving you.
Willie Nelson
I think it is just terrible and disgusting how everyone has treated Lance Armstrong, especially after what he achieved winning seven Tour de France races while on drugs......When I was on drugs I couldn't even find my bike.
Willie Nelson
Horses were a way to travel to get to where we are today, and it is our job to protect them.
Willie Nelson
I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there's a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.
Willie Nelson
I was influenced a lot by those around me - there was a lot of singing that went on in the cotton fields.
Willie Nelson
Love is like a dying ember, only memories remain.
Willie Nelson
It doesn't hurt to feel sad from time to time.
Willie Nelson
A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth - that’s what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.
Willie Nelson
The life I love is making music with my friends.
Willie Nelson
If you want to make marijuana legal, you've got to stay straight long enough to f - vote.
Willie Nelson
I'm from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there's no one in control.
Willie Nelson
Be gentle with your words - you can't take them back.
Willie Nelson
How would you like to bite that in the ass, develop lock jaw and be dragged to death?
Willie Nelson
At 82, Nelson (who wrote the song On the Road Again, among a thousand or more others) is the elder statesman of country music, a steadying and powerful voice in the industry and on environmental issues, and he's still on the road much of the year. The music keeps calling.
Willie Nelson
In church I was told that if I so much as smoked a cigarette or tasted alcohol, I’d be damned in hell for all eternity... it didn’t take long for me to start thinking that sounded all wrong... I didn’t cotton to the idea that your religion should be flaunted to other people. Your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.
Willie Nelson
If you've made your own hell, then only you have the power to escape it.
Willie Nelson
I got along without you before I met you and I'll get along without you a long time after you're gone.
Willie Nelson
America, to me, is freedom.
Willie Nelson
Nothing lasts forever, but old Fords and a natural stone.
