Waylon Jennings Album

I've always been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through
I've been busted for things that I did, and I didn't do
I can't say I'm proud of all of the things that I've done
But I can say I've never intentionally hurt anyone

I've always been different with one foot over the line
Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

Beautiful lady are you sure that you understand
The chances your taking loving a free living man
Are you really sure you really want what you see
Be careful of something that's just what you want it to be

I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Nobody knows if it's something to bless or to blame
So far I ain't found a rhyme or a reason to change
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

(Waylon Jennings)

I'm for the law and order the way it should be
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me
Someone called us outlaws in some old magazine
And New York sent a posse down like I ain't ever seen.

Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand
What started out to be a joke the law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand out of hand.

--- Instrumental ---

We were wrapped up in our music that's why we never saw
The car pulls up the boys get out and the room fills up with law
They came boundin' through the backdoor in the middle of a song
They got me for possession for something that was gone long gone.

Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand
What started out to be a joke the law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand out of hand.

Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand...

(Tony Joe White)

Billy we've come along way together and through it all
You've been just like a brother to me
And Billy we've had our share of ups and downs
Froze our tails sleeping on the ground
When the jobs were few and far between.

We've been knocking around together so long
Singing them same old songs
Been out in the rain so long I swear we're shrinking
Billy lately I have done some thinking.

When I look back on our lives
We've sure had ourself a time
But you know it's been a wild world we traveled
And it's startin' to unravel.

We leave so many loose ends behind
We've been bucked off and kicked so many times
And the ground just keeps gettin' harder
Billy you know well as I we ain't gettin' no younger.

--- Instrumental ---

Billy another summer's come and gone
Now with winter coming on
I know we planned on heading south
But Billy I thought about it several days
And these words I'm about to say.

They don't taste good in my mouth
But there's someone who's waiting back home
Lord, if she'll still have me
Guess I'll be saying so long you go on without me.

Ain't no easy way of saying goodbye
So be sure and tell 'em all down in Texas I said hi...

(Shel Silverstein - Waylon Jennings)

I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks
I'll admit I've taken things I never should of took
You can read a different story in a lot of different books
But even then you won't really know
How it was a long time ago.

Women have been my trouble since I found out they weren't men
In spite of that i stopped and took a wife now and then
They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in
I was born with a fire down below
And I learned to fly a long time ago.

--- Instrumental ---

Don't ask me about the years I spent out in the rain
About the ones I spent in love or the ones I spent insane
Don't ask me who I gave my seat to on that plane
I think you already know
I told you that a long time ago.

Me and ol' Willie, Lordy, we've been sold and bought
I guess you all heard about some kind of system that we fought
We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught
They tried to run us off but Willie's slow
I quit running a long time ago...

You get a pen and I'll get a paper we're gonna write ourselves a song
We'll drive the poetics crazy I don't think the damn thing's gonna rhyme
( steel )
I got a friend and I think he's goofy I guess he thinks the same about me
Guess it really takes one to know one and you look like an old friend of mine
( piano )
Out all night and acting crazy I've been up for two whole days
Turn me over and roll me over wind me up for one more rhyme
( harmonica )
Well he called me friend and he called me brother
I called him back but he was gone
He took my songs and he took my money
But the jokes on him he's the friend of a fool of a fool of a fool
( dobro )
You get a pen and I'll get a paper...

Medley of Buddy Holly hits:

Well All Right
(Buddy Holly - Norman Petty - Joe Allison)

Well all right, so I'm bein' foolish
Well all right let people know
About the dreams and wishes you wish
And the night when lights are low.

Well all right, well all right
We'll live in love with all our might
Well all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right.

--- Instrumental ---

Well all right, well all right
We'll live in love with all our might
Well all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right.

It's So Easy

Maybe Baby
(Buddy Holly - Norman Petty - Joe Allison)

Maybe baby, I'll have you,
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me
It's funny honey, you don't care
You never listen to my prayer
Maybe baby, you'll love me someday

Well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
Well, someday you want me, you will
I'll be there to wait and see.

Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, you'll love me some day

Peggy Sue
(Buddy Holly - Norman Petty - Joe Allison)

If you knew Peggy Sue
Then you'd know how I feel blue
About Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you gal
And I need you Peggy Sue.

I love you, Peggy Sue
With the love so right and true
Oh Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you gal
And I need you Peggy Sue.

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue
Oh Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you gal
And I need you Peggy Sue.

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue
Oh Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you gal
And I need you Peggy Sue...

(Johnny Cash)

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the ties that bind
Because you're mine I walk the line.

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself by myself when each day is through
I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine I walk the line.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, let me, I walk in the line.

--- Instrumental ---

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time...

(Merle Haggard)

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closin' time
But tonight your mem'ry found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind.

Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your mem'ry come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down.

--- Instrumental ---

I've always had a bottle I could turn to
Lately I've been turning every day
But the booze don't take effect the way it used to
I keep a hurtin' in an old familiar way.

Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your mem'ry come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down.

--- Instrumental ---

Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your mem'ry come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down...

Girl I can tell you're trying to work it out
Tryin' to get a handle on what life is all about
Between womenhood and nursery rhymes tryin' to find the truth in lovers lies
Girl I can tell you're trying to work it out
Girl I can see you're wantin' to give it a try
Taking all the good and the bad the truth and the lies
Feelings inside you you can't talk about feelings have a way of not comin' out
Girl I can see you're trying to work it out
( guitar )
Between womenhood and nursery rhymes looking for the truth in lovers lies
And the ties that bind the things that last through time
Girl I can tell you're trying to work it out

You take the lady...I'll take the lesson
I can't say that anyone's...Doin' me wrong
Cause I allways knew....That the girl had a weakness
For whistlers and jugglers....and singers of songs

Now she was a child...Back when I first met her
And the woman inside her...Was just bein' born
And I knew she'd come with me...Cause she had a fever
For whistlers and jugglers...and singers of songs.

And the whistler will whistle her...A song she can dance to
And jugglers will cheer her...When she starts to cry
The singer will sing her.....A bed of red roses
Where she might let you....lie by her side

She'll laugh in the face...of the wealthy and famous
And you'll never lose her..To the handsome or strong
But all of your life son...Watch over your shoulder
For whistlers and jusgglers...and singers of songas..

Repeat the chorus..........
