It's a Long Story: My Life

By Willie Nelson

Book Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

Wow! Really good book!

I like Willie Nelson, but I'm not what you would call a superfan. Decided to read this book--I've liked autobiographies lately. This was much better than I imagined. It's a great story and I looked forward to reading it every night. I even took it to work and read on my lunch hour! And the picture on the cover is fantastic-kind of haunting in person. Recommended for all music lovers.
