Lyrics
I come from the land
Of a million stars
In the dead of winter
You can almost hear them burn
She came flyin’ by
With stardust in her eye
We lit out and
I swore I’d never return

I thought our love was true
I sang those “Worried Man Blues”
I was chained to the heart of a ghost
That I never knew
I’m above it now
I see miles around
This is the only real love
That I have ever known

The boys are in the alley
With long tall Sally
Sayin’ come on buddy there’s a party
Do you wanna go?
Down at the razor ball
Down at the Razor Hall
Where there’s shadows in the eyes
Of the people
That I used to know

Some came to me in strides
Some wounded my pride
On the banks
Where the raging river flows
But I could hear you callin’ me
From the other side
This is the only real love
That I have ever known

My song is ringing like silver
Your heart shines like gold
They told me “nothin’ last forever”
But I know they’re wrong
You gave me the best
And I forgot about the rest
Now where standing on the platform
Right where we belong

Engineer blows the whistle
The fireman rings the bell
This train is rollin’ out tonight
It’s sixteen coaches wide
We watch ‘em all go by
Because this is the only real love
That I have ever known

I come from the land
Of a million stars
In the dead of winter
You can almost hear them burn
She came flyin' by
With stardust in her eye
We lit out and I swore
I'd never return
I thought our love was true
I sang those "Worried Man Blues"
I was chained to the heart of a ghost
That I never knew
I'm up above it now
I see for miles around
This is the only real love
That I have ever known
The boys are in the alley
With long tall Sally
Sayin', "Come on, buddy, there's a party
Do you wanna go?"
Down at the razor ball
Down at the Razor Hall
Where there's shadows in the eyes
Of the people that I used to know
Some came to me in strides
Some wounded my pride
On the banks
Where the raging river flows
But I could hear you callin' me
From the other side
This is the only real love
That I have ever known
My song is ringing like silver
Your heart shines like gold
They told me, "Nothin' last forever"
But I know they're wrong
You gave me the best
And I forgot about the rest
Now we're standing on the platform
Right where we belong
Engineer blows the whistle
The fireman rings the bell
This train is rollin' out tonight
It's sixteen coaches wide
We watch them all go by
'Cause this is the only real love
That I have ever known
Yeah, this is the only real love
That I have ever known

Such good news... can't wait to have this record. Great song already.
Never stopped listening since Old Crow Medicine Show.
One of the best voices ever 🙏

[philiphale]

One of the best from one of the best. Such a unique, smooth voice. As distinctive for a guy as Iris Dement’s is for a gal.❤

[cj-cwwi]

I've been thinking for some time about what could fill the big hole in my heart when Willie Nelson leaves us. I think I found it. What a gift Willie Watson is.

[kenbrown]

WOW! Just Freakin WOW! Love everything about this song...

[MichaelRuddMusic]

Love the simplicity and raw, heartfelt emotions. One of a kind voice.

[FastTonyAnderson]

This song is flying. Great video too Willie. Ithaca 98-99 good times

So Beautiful, written for his wife - lucky Lady. Willie will be remembered forever, such talent coupled with humility. ❤ xxJ

That's the best song I've heard in some time

[heidil]

Oh how I smiled through watching this. Lovely editing too. Music that can calm you. Thanks Willie x❤

[michaelk]

Simply beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes.

[mrguff]

Like a warm summer afternoon to your eardrums!

[nicksilver_music]

This song is so good, it makes me cry my fucking eyes out everytime I hear it, I miss her so much... :(

[DrMichaelYoung]

Truly a great artist saw him a few years ago and hope to see him again soon

[jennifercarlin]

I was a fan from when he first started. But this song has just gave me a new love for him. He truly is amazing.

Looking forward to seeing Mr Watson in my home town Liverpool in January. Last time we saw him was 10yrs ago in Madchester (Manchester 😊) north west UK and that was a great night.
Just recently celebrated our 40yrs married, so this song chimes with us, heck we may even get up n waltz if he plays this. Hope not to disturb others though so may just dance on our own together at the back of the room.
Peace ✌🏻 n Love ❤️

[consumed_star]

Absolutely love that their dancing isn't perfect ❤ you can see they're just having fun. So sweet!! Such a lovely song as well

[JennLM-nduu]

Willie Watson is one alone, he can make you laugh, cry etc. He breaks my Heart 💔 xx

[SheCox-crwd]

I had the pleasure of seeing Willie at the Britt Festival in Oregon. He opened for his old band, Old Crow Medicine Show, and then joined them for several songs. It was such a treat. LOVE WILLIE.

[suemorgan]

Saw him and Old Crow last night in Milwaukee. SO great, SO much fun-- fantastic show!
