Next month, country music icon Willie Nelson turns 85-years-old! The singer-songwriter is set to drop his forthcoming record, Last Man Standing, on April 29th, just two days after his birthday. This week, Nelson has debuted a new single from Last Man Standing titled “Me and You.” The accompanying music video features the Texas native strumming his guitar in the recording studio.
Listen to Willie Nelson perform “Me and You” with his trusty guitar, Trigger, below…
“Me and You” Lyrics
Turn the sound down on the the tv
I just can’t listen anymore
It’s like I’m in some foreign country
That I have never seen before
So I come down here to think about it
What in the hell we gonna do
Cuz after all is said and all is done
It’s just me and you
It’s just me and you
And we are definitely outnumbered
There’s more of them than us
Just when you think you’ve made a new friend
They throw you under the bus
So, it’s just me and you
Oh, it’s just me and you
I had a friend I used to talk to
We used to both sit on the fifths
But anymore I can’t relate to him
Cuz he ain’t got a lick of sense
So now I just ask you the question
But I’m the one I’m talking to
The world has gone out of its mind except for me and you
It’s just me and you
And we are definitely outnumbered
There’s more of them than us
Just when you think you’ve made a new friend
They throw you under the bus
So, it’s just me and you
Oh, it’s just me and you
Yeah, it’s just me and you
