Willie Hugh Nelson (/wɪli nɛlsən/; born April 29, 1933) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.
I close my eyes and see as it flashed across my screen
Way to fast for me couldn't grab what I've just seen
Once again I tried to rewind my memories
Once again it died inside of me
Was it something that I couldn't see?
Was it something that was not for real?
Was it something that I don't wanna know about?
Was it anything at all?
Could I ever bury what I failed to justify
On a cemetary of a thousand living lies
Once again I tried to rewind my memories
Once again it died inside of me
