This has already been answered, but:  the Internet Movie Data Base 
( http://imdb.com ) has a filmography for Willie Nelson.  One section of

the filmography is "Soundtrack."  #32 in that listing:  "# Wag the Dog 
(1997) (writer: "I GUARD THE CANADIAN BORDER") (performer: "I GUARD THE 
CANADIAN BORDER", "GOOD OLD SHOE")"
