Willie’s Road Zane Williams

On the day that I left Nashville in the dust
I thought I'd laid my final dream to rest
Then I picked up a trail that I can trust
Turns out Willie really does know best

Now I'm rollin' down the road that Willie paved
Livin' for my music, and those moments on the stage
Singin' the truth and livin' free, like I was born to be
Rollin' down the road that Willie paved

Like a country music Johnny Appleseed
He spread his love of music near and far
The cowboys and the hippies all agreed
Willie Nelson sure had a way with that guitar
Life he loves is makin' music with his friends
And I have to say, I know just how that feels
When that song comes on, I always grin
And sing along with the spinnin' of the wheels

'Cause we're rollin' down the road that Willie paved
Livin' for my music, and those moments on the stage
I don't know where it's all headed, but I never have regretted
Rollin' down the road that Willie paved

Sometimes it's almost like he was just there
I even caught a whiff of funny smellin' smoke upon the air
There's a faded poster hangin' up backstage
From a night that Willie played here long ago
In that picture, he will never age
Just like all his classic songs, that never will grow old
