**Willie Nelson shares his life story in this "heartfelt" bestselling
memoir of true love, wild times, best friends, and barrooms (Washington
Post).
**"Unvarnished. Funny. Leaving no stone unturned." . . . So say the
publishers about this book I've written. What I say is that this is the
story of my life, told as clear as a Texas sky and in the same rhythm
that I lived it.
It's a story of restlessness and the purity of the moment and living
right. Of my childhood in Abbott, Texas, to the Pacific Northwest, from
Nashville to Hawaii and all the way back again. Of selling vacuum
cleaners and encyclopedias while hosting radio shows and writing song
after song, hoping to strike gold.
It's a story of true love, wild times, best friends, and barrooms, with
a musical sound track ripping right through it. My life gets lived on
the road, at home, and on the road again, tried and true, and I've
written it all down from my heart to yours.
Signed, Willie Nelson.
