"The Truth Of My Life In Songs..."

I've often thought that much of my life could be set to music... And if so, this would be one of the songs on the soundtrack of my life...

This would be the introductory track:

"Heartaches of a Fool"

Willie Nelson

Started out with the dreams

And the plans of a wise man

And ended up with the heartaches of a fool

As a boy I would walk through the valley

Gazed at the world all around

Made a vow that somehow I would find fame and fortune

I found it but look at me now

I had a sweetheart who would love me forever

Didn't need her, I would reign all alone

And look at me, I'm the king of cold lonely castle

The queen of my heart is gone

So get around me, you fools for a dollar

Listen to me, a lesson you'll learn

Well there's happiness and love sent from heaven above

And the fires of ambition will burn

Started out with the dreams

And the plans of a wise man

And ended up with the heartaches of a fool

Songwriters: Breeland / Buskirk / Nelson
