- And the boys from North Dakota;
They drink whiskey for their fun.
And the cowboys down in Texas;
They polish up their guns.
And they look across the border
To learn the ways of love...
If you love me, say, "I love you".
If you love me say, "I do".
If you love me, say, "I love you".
If you love me, say, "I do".
And you can say, "I love you"
And you can say, "I do"
So I drank myself some whiskey.
And I dreamed I was a cowboy.
And I rode across the border.
If you love me, say, "I love you".
If you love me take my hand.
If you love me, say, "I love you".
If you love me take my hand.
And you can say, "I love you",
And you can have my hand.
I remember in the morning waking up
With your arms around my head.
You told me, "You can sleep forever
And I'll still hold you then."
Now the weather's getting colder,
And It's even cold down here.
And the words that you have told me
They hang frozen in the air.
And sometimes I look right through them
As if they were not there...
Message to at least 95% of singers, songwriters and musicians: THIS is how it's done.
Rickie Lee like a lightning bolt on this beautifully written and delivered song.
She barely gets to touch the song - and yet that is enough to lift it up into the air.
I never get tired of this version of this song by 2 of my favorite artists.💗
This is one of my all time favorite love songs from Lyle Lovett. Rickie Lee Jones voice is still as beautiful and unique as I remember. Such an incredible song ❤
I keep coming back to this every once in awhile. Gorgeous. ❤️
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. This version is simply perfection.
not
You said it
❤❤
I agree.
The incomparable arrangement by Lyle-the orchestration and the musictration, and adding Rikki Lee-no wonder he’s acknowledged as the musical genius he is.
The arrangement kills. Truly beautiful from start to finish.
I went to a country festival almost 4 years ago, I’d originally gone to see Chris Stapleton. I’d never heard of Lyle Lovett and when he played this song, it hit me like a ton of bricks, brought out emotions that I never knew I had. I’ve listen to this song ever since at least once a week. Thankyou Lyle
Checking in Lyle
What a special moment between two amazing artists.
Beautiful lyrics
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever.
Lyle watches every nuance coming from RJs lips, and syncs with that in real time. That is one of the reasons this duet is so compelling. IMO.
Wow. That was so beautiful.
A beautiful song the voices echo soul life and loss and all the players are caught in that sublime moment
I was at this concert...still gives me chills!
wow, it's one of the best performances I've ever heard. So much soul.
Where was concert Liz?
Where and when?
Where &when was this concert?? They're magical singing together ❤
This is such a beautiful song. Had it in my head all day. Rickie and Lyle’s musical chemistry is pure magic. Love the subtlety and depth of this song.
Boy if I was not lonely before I sure am now . Dammit Jim
I guess the old adage of knowing how to do enough and not overdoing it really describes this. Every note, every nuance from everyone is just perfect for the song. From the first note of the intro until the last note, it needs nothing. After the show they all had to know they had done it perfectly, I can't imagine the feeling they got from doing it.
There’s just an understated gracefulness to this tune
Yes
I listen to this song often on my Spotify but this well crafted song is so good and dynamic I come back to watch just to see this performance.
So good so soulful great music. Rickie Lee jones cry in the end is achingly beautiful.
Such beautiful words, especially when you find a cowboy, who fills your heart so full, it often skips a beat in the adulation of what is the essence of love and light and beauty in the union between lovers.
Rickie Lee Jones' voice can be absolutely haunting at times
Both of them,toghther.
This tune.
At 58 I'm just discovering this! Recently purchased Rickie Lee Jones album and realized I have a lot of catching up to do. Looks like I have some discovering to do with Lyle Lovett and these wonderful musicians with him. I knew of Lyle Lovett and Rickie Lee Jones, just not familiar with much of their music. Just recently discovered Patti Smith and Joni Mitchell via Drivin N Cryin, my favorite band since 1991!
Just smacks me in the heart every time I hear this song. Huge Rickie Lee Jones fan. I've seen him live twice. The very best!
I’ve seen him twice as well. The second time was at Mud Island, practically over the water. Yes, it was - it was.
Rickies harmony towards the end is so Rickie, awesomeness…love it…
Watching this blows me away every time!
A masterpiece. I used to listen to this driving all night through the western deserts and it carried me a million miles. What a great craftsman Lyle Lovett is. Where is he? I would love a new album from him. This is a great damn performance.
barely heard this song 4 days ago, WOW!! 2 decades later I never knew that I was a Lyle Lovett fan.. I'm blow away by Lyle's and Rickie's voices on this powerful song.
Just found this. It’s so beautiful, restrained and the whole sound shimmering and hanging together like a spider’s web.
Went to see Ricki probably 25 years ago, and there was this unknown guy opening for her… this song brings it all back. Song writing isn’t dead!
A beautiful song- as teary as Rickie Lee's "skeletons" in its own way. And Matt Rollings? Damn.. Every time I hear him play with Lyle, it makes me so happy- his piano language in that simple song is so expansive.. instant Technicolor. Thx for posting!
I have listened to this cut dozens of times- 2 of my favorite musicians singing one of my favorite songs. I would encourage all of you out there to check out more music by both artists. Art saves lives- music saved me.
I love this song..Mr.Lyle Lovett at his best!!
Always brings a tear to my eyes no matter how many times I hear it.
I take it you know nothing about covid 19 killing people everyday
This is just pure soul food.
It took me across the country.
Sounds like reading a Cormac McCarthy novel.
Saw them do this together in Minneapolis what seems like a life time ago....it was stunning...sparse..and clean and clear and it is still powerful and sad...
What a wonderful experience! I just heard this today after not hearing in forever. Such a gorgeous song. ♥️
beautiful piano
its amazing to watch people who know how to use their voices.
Beautiful song! I must admit, I watched this because I'd not heard Rickie Lee Jones in about 40 years, and I was curious. This was wonderful, and I'll be looking for more.
THIS WAS SUNG IN THE LATE 80'S, IN SPOKANE, WASHINGTON..WE WERE READY TO LEAVE-AND HE DID THIS SONG. SO GLAD!!! MAY 24,2022
LOVE THIS SONG

My favorite part is when the guitar solo starts and Rickie steps back into the shadows. True artistry on that stage.
I’m a Texan and I’ve been a Lyle Lovett fan since the 90’s, plus my son bought tickets for us to see him for my 60th birthday in an upcoming concert. It makes me SICK hearing about a noose on their tour through Montana. That’s a state I’ve been fortunate to go to and fly fish on the Yellowstone River. I have to say WTF?! He is a wonderful musician, as is she, Rickie Lee Jones. What is America coming to when Lyle Lovett is threatened, with a noose.
Music simply doesn't get any better than this.
I’ve watched 25 times at least and still think this is just a gorgeous rendition of a very nice song. The production just elevates it so much, like a painting of a song- it’s really good.
I saw him in Philly in the 90s. It was great. Shes no lady shes my wife.
Still listening 7-22-2019 great song hauntingly beautiful! Rickie Lee Jones can sing to me anyday 💖💞💖
Beats anything I've ever helt, felt or smelt. Just a beautiful song!
Absolutely wonderful. What a beautiful song.
Gives me shivers. Beautiful song.
beautiful song! and a great performance too!
The only people I would stand in a line for tickets are Lyle and Sade. Sixty two year old black dude that loves drumming to southern rock and heavy metal. Bullets in Blue Sky...the reason the volume knob goes to 10!
One of my all time favorite songs . . .
Exquisite.
Been listening to Lyle forever. seen him live multiple times....If love me say I love you.....GREAT TALENT.
Anything and everything this man does musically is extraordinary! A highly talented man who is largely unknown by the masses.
So subtle. So understated. So good!
Beautiful, moving, tears ran down my face as soon as she sang
Best male voice... I've seen him twice.. Amazing
That guitar solo at 3:41… it just melts me.
Same here..a lot of feeling in that guitar 🎸solo.
Is there anything more beautiful than their voices intertwined?
No
At a concert after rounds of applause ? We got up to leave....Calls of "MORE"! We ran back and sat down, randomly. Thank God he did this song.Heavenly!What a memory!!!
How pretty. As many times as I've heard this, and I've heard this live, it's always fresh, always sweet, always with love. Can one ever get enough?
so unbelievably good
It just doesn't get any better than that.
Yep
I’ve been fortunate enough to see Lyle twice. He puts so much into his music that his songs sound the way short stories by Cormac McCarthy would read. Rich.
BOTH OF YOU ,REALLY ARE BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU 😊😊
Lyle is so far ahead of my second favorite singer. Everything he sings is perfection. His humility and humor in concert is so refreshing as well. A true entertainer.
I go for the jokes, just as much as his music!
@@mathews1528 he’s awesome in between songs!
Nothin better than talented musicians gettin together.
Beautiful on so many levels.
This piano man is a god.
Beautiful, casts a spell!
An absolutely hauntingly beautiful song.
Amazing artists. Just look at the joy in Lyle's face as he sings duet with Rikie!
Lyle is a true master of the art of musical story telling to the point of being captivating.
Rikki Lee Jones is the coolest woman I ever seen!
I absolutely love this song and in particular this version.
Masterpiece.
At 5:18 where Rickie Lee Jones sings is so beautiful and haunting. Gives me chills every time I hear it.

The best produced Lyle video ever. My friend saw them do this on this tour second row. This is a close second.
This song just grows and grows! I love the way she misses the cue and just laughs but then cements it with a harmony that makes Lyle smile!
We are so much richer to have Lyle singing our Texas songs.
Major respect for this man and his music!
I saw Rickie Lee in the late 70’s and have loved her ever since. I am a Lyle Lovett fan forever, got to see him in Galveston at a small theater..... he is an amazing musician/ storyteller/ performer.
Stunning
This one always sends chills down my spine and back up to my eyes which can't stay dry....
A great combination of artists! This performance is amazing!
That made me smile and weep at the same time.
Atmospheric, love Lyle love this song
Beautiful!
Each note a show stopper..and dat lady sure is purdy.....
Beautiful and tear jerking
Still the best version (and there is plenty) of this great song.
So beautiful, so perfect.
This song is mesmeric … love the mood … and like others here … this song floors me every time.fab !!
What a treat. Breathless.
Just gave me chills.
Cool as cool can get !
This song was recommended for headphones by Spotify but I often go on CZcams for the comments. The song is so beautiful as some one says here there economy of words are fab. And when Rickie joins in it’s hauntingly beautiful. Great comments from other people here. Rickie Lee gets the tears going 😎🎸
WOW! Fantastic live performance of one of my favorite Lyle songs. Amazing with RLJ.
So beautiful!
The most beautiful backup voice ever!
Second only to Emmylou!
