He's always been there with me, every mile out on the road

Oh, you love him or you hate him but a hundred million records can't be wrong
A E A
Whiskey River will never be the same, when Willie's gone

[Chorus]
D A
The Red Headed Stranger, who lived the life that's written in his songs
A D F#m D
He's the last of the outlaws and even though his music will live on

I wonder how the world is gonna be and what's country music gonna mean

And I thought about you home and all alone with tears in my eyes
