  • And the boys from North Dakota;
    They drink whiskey for their fun.
    And the cowboys down in Texas;
    They polish up their guns.
    And they look across the border
    To learn the ways of love...
    If you love me, say, "I love you".
    If you love me say, "I do".
    If you love me, say, "I love you".
    If you love me, say, "I do".
    And you can say, "I love you"
    And you can say, "I do"
    So I drank myself some whiskey.
    And I dreamed I was a cowboy.
    And I rode across the border.
    If you love me, say, "I love you".
    If you love me take my hand.
    If you love me, say, "I love you".
    If you love me take my hand.
    And you can say, "I love you",
    And you can have my hand.
    I remember in the morning waking up
    With your arms around my head.
    You told me, "You can sleep forever
    And I'll still hold you then."
    Now the weather's getting colder,
    And It's even cold down here.
    And the words that you have told me
    They hang frozen in the air.
    And sometimes I look right through them
    As if they were not there...

    The incomparable arrangement by Lyle-the orchestration and the musictration, and adding Rikki Lee-no wonder he’s acknowledged as the musical genius he is.

    Lyle watches every nuance coming from RJs lips, and syncs with that in real time. That is one of the reasons this duet is so compelling. IMO.

I am 66 and this one is on constant rotation when I just want to hear some good fuckin' music... Saw Lyle and his Big Band with my older son about 8 months ago and it was a total bucket list experience. Long Live Real music !

    I went to a country festival almost 4 years ago, I’d originally gone to see Chris Stapleton. I’d never heard of Lyle Lovett and when he played this song, it hit me like a ton of bricks, brought out emotions that I never knew I had. I’ve listen to this song ever since at least once a week. Thankyou Lyle

    I’m a Texan and I’ve been a Lyle Lovett fan since the 90’s, plus my son bought tickets for us to see him for my 60th birthday in an upcoming concert. It makes me SICK hearing about a noose on their tour through Montana. That’s a state I’ve been fortunate to go to and fly fish on the Yellowstone River. I have to say WTF?! He is a wonderful musician, as is she, Rickie Lee Jones. What is America coming to when Lyle Lovett is threatened, with a noose.

  • @jg90278
    @jg90278 8 лет назад +253

    There's an economy in his lyrics that says so much more about love and heartbreak. And Rickie's higher notes against Lyle's deeper and darker ones - knocks me out every time. Every time.

    I guess the old adage of knowing how to do enough and not overdoing it really describes this. Every note, every nuance from everyone is just perfect for the song. From the first note of the intro until the last note, it needs nothing. After the show they all had to know they had done it perfectly, I can't imagine the feeling they got from doing it.

Looks like I have some discovering to do with Lyle Lovett and these wonderful musicians with him. I knew of Lyle Lovett and Rickie Lee Jones, just not familiar with much of their music. Just recently discovered Patti Smith and Joni Mitchell via Drivin N Cryin, my favorite band since 1991!
