[Chorus]
Those far away places with strange sound and names
Far away over sea
Far away places with the strange sound and names
Are calling, calling me

[Verse]
I go into China or maybe Siam, I wanna see for myself
Those far away places I've been reading bout
In a book that I took from a shelf
I keep wishing I was somewhere else way on a train
I pray for the day I can get under way
And search for those castles in Spain
They call me a dreamer, well maybe I am
But I know that I'm burning to see

[Chorus]
Those far away places with strange sound and names
Far away over sea
Far away places with the strange sound and names
Are calling, calling me

Willie Hugh Nelson (April 29, 1933) is a singer-songwriter and musician. He was born in Abbott, TX and raised by his grandparents during the great Depression.

He achieved some success in the early 60’s as a crooner, a la Bobby Darin, but turned away from popular music to Country in the late 60s. His albums Shotgun Willie (1973), Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978) made him one of the most recognized artists in country music.

Nelson has released over 70 studio and live albums in his career, and still records and performs today.
