Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends (feat. Rosanne Cash) - Willie Nelson

Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown? There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not Just say you're looking for something you might have forgot Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone 'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven-year ache See what else your old heart can take Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room" But the girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon" Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache See what else your old heart can take Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room" The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"
