Willie Nelson — Truth Number One

[Verse 1] I don't really want your bed, just a place to lay my head As I contemplate the struggle way of life I don' want your vintage wine, just a moment of your time And a crumb or two from the stalf of life [Verse 2] Now the stalf of life for me is in your good company Well I'll share a few short moments with you Let us talk about some things, let us make the music ring While we're not yet old enough to know the truth [Verse 3] Well the truth cannot be found as long as we are bound To be blinded from the moment of our birth So the answer my friend must lie from within So this immigration from this place called earth [Verse 4] In the metaphysic world you'll find the answer furled Never to be pried by human hands So you must await the sign, or the truth will come in time Unfurling like the flowers in the sand [Verse 5] Now I am outside the sphere of the influenced ear As I look around for a brothers soul But if honesty transcends all the loose and danglin' ends Then the finding of that rubber is my goal [Verse 6] If you're on the left or right you're still in for the fight That's one thing that'll have to popularize If it's the middle you are in you will always be my friend Just as long as you never compromise [Outro] And if you think my thoughts are crude Then I'll try not to be too rude After all you are free to criticize But if you think you should refine Vinegar from vintage wine Then the grapes of [?] will curse you all your life And we could sit here all the night Tryna make the wrong to right But this isn't my philosophy For I'm thinkin' all the while, I'd much rather see your smile Which is truth in all it's immediacy Which is truth in all it's immediacy
