"I Let My Mind Wander" lyrics - WILLIE NELSON

I let my mind wander,
And what did it do?
It just kept right on going,
Until it got back to you.
I let my mind wander.

Can't trust it one minute,
It's worse than a child.
Disobeys without conscience,
It's drivin' me wild,
When I let my mind wander.

Try to keep my mind busy,
On thoughts of today.
But invariably, memories,
Seem to lure it away.

My lonely heart wonders,
If there'll ever come a day,
When I can be happy,
But I can't see no way,
'Cause I let my mind wander.

[Instrumental break]

I try to keep my mind busy,
With thoughts of today.
But invariably, mem'ries,
Seem to lure it away.

My lonely heart wonders,
If there'll ever come a day,
When I can be happy,
But I can't see no way,
'Cause I let my mind wander.
