Willie joins country legend Merle Haggard to perform his hit, ‘A Horse Called Music.’ Willie begins sitting in a field of horses while playing his guitar and singing.
He’s joined by Merle Haggard, who became a country music superstar after being released from prison in 1960. Merle scored 38 number-one hits on the country charts.
Willie is wearing a cowboy hat and a button-up shirt with jeans and boots. In another scene, he rides a horse by a white church. Then, flashbacks of the wedding day in the church are shown in black-and-white footage.
His bride stands on stage waiting, and Willie rides away. He sits down at an old saloon and turns on a video projector to see a man riding across the country on his horse, along with other classic scenes from old cowboy movies. The imagery continues throughout the song.
Willie and Merle sing the heartfelt lyrics, “And he sings “ooh” to the ladies, and ooh, he made some sigh. Then he rides away on a horse he called Music with a pain in his heart and a tear in his eye.”
Willie Nelson keeps making hit records. He wrote his first song at the age of 7 and joined his first band at 10. Since then, he has scored over 25 number-one records, with over 40 million records sold. Willie is a true American legend.
