foreign there's a lady that I've known for many many years who's been standing back here helping us with the background she did Leona Williams part on the roots of my raisins she did the part on uh what else we've done so many songs Tonight the way I am I think it was isn't that what would you make welcome someone who is one of the greatest singers I've ever met miss Connie Smith good evening Connie are you all right you got on my court don't get on my cord I'm sorry girl how could I do that I knew people that used to copy this lady right down to her laugh her laugh was even unique we're going to try to do a song that me and Janie Fricke had a number one record on it's called a place to fall apart Freddy powers and I and uh and Willie Nelson I don't know how Willy got his name on this song now remember let me tell you about it Freddie came up to me and he said how come you haven't written anything about your your your divorce I said I don't want to write anything about it and I said if I was going to write anything I'd write a letter he said well write it and we were in that same room where we rehearsed this song in a very same room all those years ago and he said why don't you write the letter and I said I don't want to write her in a letter he said well write one and he said we won't mail it that's the best thing to do with the letter well and that's the best thing to do one of these kind of letters and uh about three or four weeks before that when Freddie it came out from Texas out to California said you know Willie's really got a great title for a song it's called place to fall apart I said that is a good time I probably never see you again letters meant to be my last farewell but you need to understand I'm nearly crazy you need to know my life's gone to hell or write me back and tell me why why it's some final proof to show my heart I'll be somewhere between I love you and what you're feeling now looking for a place to fall apart a place I need to be somewhere when I feel the teardrops I can't seem to justify you're leaving me and I'm bewildered as to how it all came down I thought everything was fine till your phone call the call to turn my world around send me word and tell me why it ended oh I need some final proof to show my heart I'll be somewhere between I love you and what you're feeling now looking for a place looking forward to find a place to fall apart foreign I need to be somewhere hot I wanna feel the teardrops start looking for a place to fall apart Miss Connor Smith
