Verse 1
G 
I  (G major) hope you're enjoying the Sheryl Crow
thread's album release special
And when you look at the people
on this album
It is just so incredible, and you have to think about the fact
that they all agreed to participate
Because they respect Sheryl as an artist, they like
her as a person
So when she asked, they said, "Yes"
C 
And one guy that said yes, and she's actually had a chance to work with him a lot in her  (C major) life,
G 
is  (G major) Willie Nelson
So let's talk about "Lonely
Alone"
D 
G 
C 
Lonely Alone  (D major) is a song that I wrote  (G major) with Willie in  (C major) mind

Verse 2
G 
And I called up my buddy Shane  (G major) McAnally, I said,
B 
G 
C 
G 
"I wanna  (B major) write a song  (G major) that is  (C major) worthy of Willie  (G major) Nelson"
Which, I think is, almost
impossible
He's written some of the
C 
greatest  (C major) songs ever written
G 
And I  (G major) think people don't realize that
C 
he's a writer  (C major) that he's had songs
G 
He's had  (G major) hits in every genre
C 
He's had jazz songs, blues songs, country  (C major) songs,
B 
G 
rock  (B major) songs  (G major) that have made it on the charts in every genre
I mean, he's just amazing and he's still
out there doing it
C 
G 
C 
G 
And he's  (C major) also been  (G major) an unbelievable friend  (C major) to me and he's also  (G major) been,
really, my favorite duet partner for years
C 
So much so, that when I was going through LAX coming from Europe  (C major) and going
G 
C 
G 
 (G major) through Customs and hoping they  (C major) weren't gonna pick  (G major) me
I got picked and I thought they were gonna go
through my luggage
C 
G 
D 
But instead the guy  (C major) said, "Can I  (G major) give you some  (D major) advice?  I think
C 
G 
you're work (C major) ing with Willie Nel (G major) son a little too much"
So, I was like, "I've made it,
Willie!"
D 
Anyway, we wrote this song called  (D major) "Lonely Alone"
G 
C 
G 
 (G major) and  it's very much like a Willie  (C major) Nelson  (G major) song
D 
 (D major) It's about being lonely in a bar and
D 
C 
G 
 (D major) not wanting to  (C major) be alone  (G major) and just saying
"Hey, it doesn't have to last forever,
but we don't have to be lonely alone"
And he just killed it, he just brought his "willieness" to it and
B 
C 
G 
Mickie Raphael played  (B major) on it and it  (C major) just gives it that great Willie Nelson  (G major) sound
