Today I was listening to a podcast interview with Willie Nelson (from 1996 I think)….anyways he had his guitar and was asked to sing a song that he really was proud of that wasn’t a hit…he played this and it made enough of an impression on me that I actually emailed myself to find out more about it…the version I heard with just him and the guitar was better than this…but WOW…what a gorgeous song with gorgeous lyrics…
Is that emmylou Harris sitting next to him?

Searching for a place to fall

And I never cared for you

No, you won’t believe

Your mind cannot conceive

Now all depends on what I say to you

And on your doubting me

So I’ve prepared these statements far from true

Yea, I overspoke. It is poetic, but all negative. Not the end, unless he keeps that attitude.
