( E ) 
Well; we were pickin' in a honky-tonk in Austin. 
                                         A 
This girl came up and bought the band a round. 
                                       E 
I said "Can we play something for you, darlin' 
          F#                                   B      
Before we give last call and shut this ole bar down"? 
             A 
And then she asked; "Can you play me Whiskey River"? 
                                              A 
I turned around and said boys, kick er off in A 
                                    E 
And I did my best impersonation for her 
     B               A               E 
That one performance stole her heart away 
 

      A                              E 
But I think she only loves me for my Willie 
    A                               E 
Something about my Willie turns her on 
         A                      E 
Its not all that extraordinary really 
         F#                            B 
But its better than my Haggard and my Jones 
       A                                     E 
Its a little thing and you might think its silly 
        Fm                             A 
Ah, but you can bet its always on her mind 
                                      E -> C# 
Yeah I think she only loves me for my Willie 
          F#           B              E 
She keeps askin for my willie all the time  


       E 
We got in my truck and headed out for breakfast 
                          A 
I stuck in my willie      CD  
                                          E 
Youd of thought that I was drivin' in a Lexus  
            F#                              B 
The way she scooted-over And snuggled up to me 
       E 
I said "Honey, Can you tell me why youre with me"? 
                                   A 
She thought about it hard and then she said 
                                      E 
"Its just your personality that gets me" 
        F#               B              E , A , E ...   
But the naked truth kept poundin' in my head 


G# Abm 
CHORUS 

 *  LEAD: ------------------------------- 
E         A        E         F#       B 
--------------------------------------- 
    E                       
She begged me not to go on the road again 
                                 A 
Leave her blue eyes cryin in the rain  
                                                E 
She swears that these four walls will drive her crazy 
                  A                    B                E    
If I go out there singin for all those girls Ive loved before again 

CHORUS:  
E          A 
All the time 
           E 
All the time 
               F#            B              E 
Yeah she keeps beggin for my willie all the time
