She Only Loves Me for My Willie

While we were pickin' in a honky-tonk in Austin

This girl came up and bought the band a round

I said, "Can we play somethin' for you, darlin',

"Before we give last call and shut this old bar down?"

Then she asked, "Can you play me 'Whiskey River'?"

I turned around and said, "Boys, kick her off in 'A'."

And I did my best impersonation for her

And that one performance stole her heart away

But I think she only loves me for my Willie

Somethin' 'bout my Willie turns her on

It's not all that extraordinary, really

But it's better than my Haggard and my Jones

It's a little thing and you might think it's silly

But you can bet it's always on her mind

I think she only loves me for my Willie

She keeps askin' for my Willie all the time

We got in my truck and headed out for breakfast

And I stuck in my Willie... CD

You'd have thought that I was drivin' in a Lexus

The way she scooted over and snuggled up to me

I said, "Honey, can you tell me why you're with me?"

She thought about it hard, and then she said,

"It's just your personality that gets me."

But the naked truth kept poundin' in my head

Yeah, I think she only loves me for my Willie

Somethin' 'bout my Willie turns her on

It's not all that extraordinary, really

But it's better than my Haggard and my Jones

It's a little thing and you might think it's silly

But you can bet it's always on her mind

I think she only loves me for my Willie

She keeps askin' for my Willie all the time

Well, she begged me not to go on the road again

And leave her blue eyes cryin' in the rain

She swears that these four walls would drive her crazy

If I go out there singin' for all

the girls I've ever loved before again

Oh, I think she only loves me for my Willie

Somethin' 'bout my Willie turns her on

It's not all that extraordinary, really

But it's better than my Haggard and my Jones

It's a little thing and you might think it's silly
