If You Can Touch Her At All

about

"If You Can Touch Her At All" is the only true cover song that I have ever put on an album. The song was written by country singer songwriter Lee Clayton but made famous by Willie Nelson. I recorded my guitar and voice through a guitar amp with one condenser microphone. You can clearly hear me activate the “delay” effect on my voice by stepping on a foot pedal. I have always enjoyed the imagery in the song and felt it would be a touching coda for this album.

lyrics

If you can touch her at all
(Written by Lee Clayton; Published by EMI/Resaca Music Publishing)

It’s funny a woman can come off so wild and free,
Yet insist I not watch her undress, or watch her watch me.
She’ll stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold,
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold.

One night of love don’t make up for six nights alone,
But I’d rather have one than none cause I’m flesh and bone.
Sometimes it seems she ain’t worth the trouble at all,
She can be worth the world if somehow, you can touch her at all.
