I Could Write a Book About You - Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson

作词：Troy Seals/Max D. Barnes/Waylon Jennings

作曲：Troy Seals/Max D. Barnes/Waylon Jennings

I know you like a brother

And I know you as well

There's some things we could talk about

Some things we'd never tell

A few things in particular an episode or two

I could write a book about you

Now listen to this

Big Betty wore a lot of make-up

Didn't she sweat a lot

The Maybelline ran like a river whenever she got hot

Last time I saw Betty as best as I can recall

You were ridin' her piggyback down that motel hall

That's not the way I remember it

You're lying like a rug on the floor

The only Betty that I can remember

I remember was yours

Sure

And since you brought up the subject

Let's talk about your taste in art

The windows and walls and the ceilings and floors

You mighta got a little too dark

And there's a motel out in Fresno

Where neither one of us can go back

You had a thing about yellow and green

So you painted the whole room black

That ain't the way I remember it

Seems like I had a little help

You weren't along just for the ride

You hit a few strokes yourself

Yeah

Well I know you like a brother

And I know you as well

There's some things we could talk about

Some things we'd never tell

A few things in particular an episode or two

I could write a book about you

But you don't have to worry

I ain't gonna do it Waylon

I hope not

I could write a book about you
