Lyrics

(When I Grow Up I Wanna Be Like) Willie Nelson

Chorus 1
When I grow up I wanna be like, Willie Nelson
Playing music for my fans every night
Rolling down the highway, sing my songs my way
If I could be like Willie, I'd be alright

Verse 1
I'd quit my daytime job, head on down to Texas
Making a living, doing what I love
A chance to be someone, like Johnny, Kris and Waylon
Party with my friends, neath the Texas sky above

Chours 1

Verse 2
Pickin' my guitar, hanging out with Merle
Rolling us a big one, no more stressing out
Before our minds got hazy, we'd be writing songs like crazy
Like a pair of good time outlaws, packing out the house

Chorus 1

Bridge
Making all that money, I'd have taxes to pay
If it wasn't for Uncle Sam, I'd just give it all away

Last Chorus
When I grow up I wanna be like, Willie Nelson
Ride that silver eagle, down the road, no end in sight
Just being who I am, I'd die a happy man
If I could be like Willie, I'd be alright
Yeh, If I could be like Willie, I'd Be alright
