Lyrics:
Don't cross him, don't boss him
He's wild in his sorrow
He's riding and hiding his pain
Don't fight him, don't spite him
Just wait till tomorrow
Maybe he'll ride on again

One of the best songs ever by one of the last living outlaws. I pray for Willie regularly. Life is rolling downhill like a snowball headed for Hell. So grateful I'm old enough to remember a more pure freedom than the younger generation will ever realize.

Tonight is a good time to quote Willie: "I'm not cold, I'm not wet and I'm not hungry, classify these as Good Times". Now quit bitchin' about everything and be thankful we still live in the land of milk and honey. God Blessed Willie and I hope he does me too. Now can we all get together and pray for the soul of Ira Hayes?

I bought the red headed stranger album on an 8 track back in the early seventies. Now i have a cd of it. One of my favorites back then ,and still is today. There isn't another guitar on the planet that sounds like trigger. Or another Willie, He is a true Treasure to music..

Trigger is like the Thor's Hammer of guitars. Over the years the action has gotten so high and the frets so worn that Willie is pretty much the only person who can play it, because his hands have molded to it perfectly over the decades. I honestly believe that the instant Willie dies the neck will snap and Trigger will explode into a million splinters because it's impossible at this point to imagine either existing without the other.

Dear Willie, I just finished the third book of yours; Me and Bobbie, Energy to Thought and My Story, I have to say I am a better person to have read your books. From one songwriter to another I am grateful to have read these insights into a remarkable life and work. I remember the first time I listened to your Stardust album I was a teenager in Michigan , it blew me away. Many years later as a US Air Force Band singer I performed those classic American songbook songs as well, thank you for inspiring me to keep on writing and singing! God Bless.

Ol Willie put out the definitive concept album, entire album is a masterpiece of a story, every song too, so much so that Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain was playing softly during my grandpa’s visitation. Talented artist all across the board, duets with Tony Bennet,Ray Charles, Merle Haggard, the list goes on and the songs he wrote for others like Patsy Cline will speak for eternity! Thank you sir for your impact on our world, especially mine!

I was a momma's boy from day 1 & owe my love of all types of music to my Mother! She could sing like Patsy Cline & play piano, I spent most my younger years following her around house. Willie was 1 of her FAVORITES & I cant remember a time she was not singing or humming a song. One day she stopped & most of us were too busy to notice... I am 100% sure that is when her dementia/Alzheimer's really began. :( One of single worst things I've ever had witness & happened 3 times, both grandmothers & Mom. I wish no one ever has to watch this happen someone that gave birth to you or known u since birth & 1 day not know who you are. Idk what to even compare it to honestly. Sorry for long post.

@JarodMoonchild1975 2 жыл бұрын

It's from a very old movie, where Willie Nelson plays the title character of the red headed stranger, from the movie of the same name. So of course the name of blue rock mountain most likely is fictional, like most names of places in games and movies, except for the ones everybody knows about, like New York or Los Angeles. But don't take my word for it, and look it up for yourself, as my memory might be wrong about some details. But my point about fictional names of places in movies or games, is definitely a valid one. And I saw the movie once, but that was long ago, so again, I advice you to look it up yourself, for absolutely correct info.

@josephtravers777 Жыл бұрын

The Red Headed Stranger album was a Country concept album, maybe the first? Common for Rock albums at the time but groundbreaking for Country music. This is the theme song. You need to listen to the complete album to get the whole story.

@lincolnmaceachern2410 Жыл бұрын

It came at a time when country was dominated by "the Nashville sound", lush, overproduced, syrupy music, usually with a string section, and several background vocalists. Willie, who had great success as a songwriter for others, "Crazy" and "Hello, Walls" insisted on a bare bones, stark production. The album was darkness personified, about a rejected man taking violent revenge on the woman who hurt him. The record companies rejected it, but one ( RCA? I'm not sure ), took a chance. It was a monster hit, and it made a legend of Willie.
