Natural to Be Gone
Embracing Change: Willie Nelson's Reflection on Evolving Relationships
Lyrics
Well you seem a little colder
There's a noticeable change in your demeanor
When I say I must be leaving
When I mention that I need to depart
But it's an ugly way for us to let it end
Our relationship's conclusion seems unpleasant and unsatisfactory
What's the use in being worried
Why worry about it since I'll be leaving soon anyway
Cause I'm going in an hour
I have limited time left before I leave
When the time is running out that we can spend
We're running out of time to spend together
What's the difference being different
What's the significance of being different
When it's difference now that looks alike
At present, what used to be different seems similar
You say I'm changing
You're pointing out that I'm changing
I'm not sure that's wrong
Not certain if that's incorrect
It's just today it may be natural
Change might be a natural part of today's circumstances
Sitting here discussing it
Currently discussing our situation
Tomorrow just as natural to be gone
But tomorrow, it might be natural for me to leave

[Instrumental break]
There's no season in my mind
I can't rely on any mental state for a clear decision
That I can count on for an answer
I've anticipated outcomes that never came to pass
And I dug too many holes expecting snow
Uncertain about my destination, I've made futile preparations
I'm not sure to where I'm headed now
Unsure where I'm going
I ride the hard line with it
Continuing on a difficult path
If I return or when I think I might go
Contemplating whether I'll return or depart again
What's the difference being different...
Reiterating the query about the significance of being different
