Willie Nelson - Crazy Old Soldier lyrics

I've had fame and fortune

Women come knock on my door

I've live to the limit maybe a little bit more

There are so many stories of how I got out of control

Some say it's a woman

Some say it's my trouble soul

I'm like a crazy old solider

fightin' a war on my own

Just me and the whiskey

And the bottles are ten thousand strong

You'd think I'd give up

as many times as I've been hit

But like a crazy old soldier

I just don't know when to quit

Barrooms and bedrooms

Are just faces and places and names

Once for the pleasure

And Lord knows once for the pain

I've tried to forget her

And all of the things that we've done

But as long as there are memories

I'll never hang up my gun

I'm like a crazy old solider

Fightin' a war on my own

Just me and the whiskey

And the bottles are ten thousand strong

You'd think I'd give up

As many times as I've been hit

But like crazy old solider

I just don't know when to quit

Like a crazy old solider

I just don't know when to quit
