- It's been rough and rocky travelin',
But I'm finally standing upright on the ground.
And after takin' several readings,
I'm surprised to find my minds still fairly sound.
I thought Nashville was the roughest,
But I know I said the same about them all.
We received our education
In the cities of the nation, me and Paul.
Almost busted in Laredo,
But for reasons that I'd rather not disclose,
But if you're stayin' in a motel there and leave,
Just don't leave nothin' in your clothes.
And at the airport in Milwaukee,
They refused to let us board the plane at all,
They said we looked suspicious,
But I believe they like to pick on me and Paul.
And on a package show in Buffalo
With us and Kitty Wells and Charlie Pride.
The show was long and we was just sittin there
And wed come to play and not just for the ride.
And we drank a lot of whiskey,
So I dont know if we went on that night at all.
But I dont think they even missed us
I guess Buffalo aint geared for me and Paul.

Willie, you have always been my favourite country singer ever since I've heard you. Strange how 35 years later Me and Paul still makes me feel good driving to work in Italy.
I feel priviledged.
Just a great song. My favorite Willie song.
the ease and competence with which he performs live is stunning.
RIP Paul English 🎶 🥁
It's good to hear someone who looks back and knows the truth,.
Still relevant in 2024!
LOVE this tune.......always have...
Have always loved Willie, Great man! Great songs! Wish i'd have been a close friend to him, love his personality! From Aretta Liford
One of the greatest singer song writers ever!
True That........ Pure Greatness!!!!!
Studio version hit #14 in Billboard, 11-23-85. God bless!
Just went to see Willie Nelson at NIACC in Mason City, Iowa and he played this song.! IT WAS GREAT.!!!
From the first album I ever heard of Willie's... The entire LP was an ongoing story...each tune connected to the next, lyrically and musically.
Great. Simple and Great.
Yesterday's Wine.....
+Jackknifegyp Yes.. this version is from Storytellers ... great live version with Cash..
had this song on an old cassette and finally decided to listen to it again. it always reminded me of my cousin paul and myself back in the day.
Paul English has been with Willie from the start. great drummer !
milwaukee pride over here
Paul was Willie's drummer. Had a bottle of Jack Daniels next to his drum set when he played. Saw them in Milwaukee in 1977 or 78.
I was sure this is about Tompall Glaser.
My most favorite song by Willie 😄
Thanke for the post!
D~
The song is most certainly about Willie's long time drummer Paul English. I found out the hard way.
Nice pic of Glen Campbell & Johnny Cash, too -
Exactly what I was thinking.
me and Paul
Tip Top :-)
@svaughan41 VH1 Storytellers. I think it is still available on CD but have never seen a DVD anywhere. If VH1 ever reruns it again it is definitely worth watching.
@AgronomRajko i love his laugh at 1:55 hehe.
D~
Never heard this, kinda cute
@OddGrims I always thought it was a joke where Willie compares his problems on the road to those of Paul McCartney!
What is this from? I've heard other songs from this show, with Willie and Johnny Cash.
hi!
