Phases and Stages (Theme) / Walkin’ Songtext
von Willie Nelson

Phases and stages
Circles and cycles
And scenes that we′ve all seen before
Let me tell you some more

After carefully considerin' the whole situation
And I stand with my back to the wall
Walkin′ is better than runnin' away
And crawlin' ain′t no good at all


And if guilty′s the question
Truth is the answer
I've been lyin′ to me all alone
There ain't nothin′ worth savin' except one another
And before you′ll wake up, I'll be gone

'Cause after carefully considerin′ the whole situation
And I stand with my back to the wall
Walkin′ is better than runnin' away
And crawlin′ ain't no good at all

After carefully considerin′ the whole situation
And I stand with my back to the wall
Walkin' is better than runnin′ away
And crawlin' ain't no good at all

And crawlin′ ain′t no good at all
