Waylon Jennings Album

The only two things in life
That make it worth livin'
Is guitars to tune good
And firm feelin' women

I don't need my name in the marquis lights
I got my song and I got you with me tonight
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin'
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newbury's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas
Ain't nobody feelin' no pain

So baby let's sell your diamond ring
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
This coat and tie is choking me
In your high society you cry all day

We've been so busy
Keepin' up with the Jones
Four car garage and we're still building on
Maybe it's time we got
Back to the basics of love

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin'
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newbury's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas
Ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Willie and Waylon and the boys
This successful life we're livin'
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Jerry Jeff's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas
There ain't nobody feelin' no pain

(Jim Webb)

Willie we've been constant companion
You know the light and shade
We have spent a million dollars
Find out what we made.

We have made the maidens marvel
The things we do and say
Down, down and out brother
Up, up in the way.

If you see me gettin' smaller
I'm leavin' don't be free there
Just got to get away from here
If you see me gettin' smaller
don't worry and no hurry
I've got the right to disappear.

God bless old Philadelphia
They were standing in the rain
Out in front of a main yard
Wet and lonely train.

Who knows who they came to see
A mad man full of beer
A four piece band and a charter bus
MAy further line career.

If you see me gettin' smaller
I'm leavin' don't be free there
Just got to get away from here
If you see me gettin' smaller
don't worry and no hurry
I've got the right to disappear...

(Roger Bowling - Hal Bynum)

One, two, three, four,

In a barroom in Toledo across from the depot
On a barstool she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her, her name.

When the drinks fin'lly hit her she said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit livin' on dreams
Hungry for laughter and here ever after
I'm after whatever the other life brings.

In the mirror I saw him I closely watched him
I saw the look in his eyes
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
And slowly started to cry.

His big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking
As he turned to the woman and said.

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With a four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal.
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.

After he left us I ordered more whiskey
She said let's go have a ball
From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room
We walked without talkin' at all.

Lord, she was a beauty but when she came to me
She must've thought that I'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her
Came back to me time after time.

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With a four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal.
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.

[No lyrics]

So long to you, hope I don't make you blue,
Think I'm gonna kill myself, think I'm gonna myself.
Apart we've grown, now I can't go on alone.
Think I'm gonna kill myself, think I'm gonna myself.
Now dig my grave with a silver spade, a gold chain lay me down and down.
Send my remains to my best friend, the rest to my hole in the ground.
Send the rest to my hole in the ground.
I bow my head, cause in the mornin' I'm a gonna be dead.
Think I'm gonna kill myself, think I'm gonna myself.
Now dig my grave with a silver spade, a gold chain lay me down and down.
Send my remains to my best friend, the rest to my hole in the ground.
Send the rest to my hole in the ground.

A vagabond dreamer, a rhymer and singer of songs
Singing to no one and nowhere to really belong
I met a beautiful lady, a pure Southern belle of the ball
Like Scarlet O'Hara loved no one and wanted them all

Chorus:
I'll never forget you and love you inspite of your faults
The good and the bad I want to remember it all
I did a new dance and you did your Tennessee Waltz
The party's all over I came uninvited
I'm leaving and taking the belle of the ball

There will always be someone I guess that's the way it should be
I guess i should know that someone used to be me
They'll gather around her soon they'll all look the same
At the feet of the lady are lover's without any names

Chorus.

Medley of Elvis hits:
That's All Right Mama
(Arthur Crudup)

Well, that's all right mama that's all right with you
That's all right mama anyway you do
Well, that's all right that's all right
That's all right mama, anyway you do.

Well, my mama she done told me papa done told me too
Son that gal you're foolin' with she ain't no good for you
Well, that's all right, that's all right
That's all right mama, anyway you do.

--- Instrumental to next song ---

My Baby Left Me
(Arthur Crudup)

Well, my baby left me she never said a word
Was it something that I've done or something that she heard
You know she left me, yeah she left me
Lord, my baby left me, never said a word.

Well Lord, I stand at my window, wring my hands and cry
I hate to lose that woman, hate to say goodbye
You know she left me, yes he left me
My baby, even left me, never said goodbye.

(Rodney Crowell)

Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time
Like sunlight dancing on your skin.

And I have never gone so long just for telling lies to you
What you've seen is what I've been
There is nothing that I can hide a few
You see me better than I can.

Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you will hold me now
Till I gain control again.

--- Instrumental ---

Just like a lighthouse you must stand alone
And mark the sailor's journey's end
And no matter what sea that I've been sailing on
I'll always roll this way again.

Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you will hold me now
Till I gain control again...

(Chips Moman - Steve Young)

Baby, go down to the drugstore buy me a guitar string
Be sure to wear your coat girl 'cause it might rain
'Cause honey, you know that rain is bad for my guitar strings
Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song.

Baby, I've tried your doctors, they just couldn't make me well
The higher I tried to climb the farther I fell
I guess it must have blew my mind sniffing the fumes of hell
Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song.

--- Instrumental ---

Baby, throw away my pillow just before you turn the light
All you'll have next to you now will be the night
I'll be somewhere wrong you'll be somewhere right
Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song.

(Willis Alan Ramsey)

Wish I was a millionaire
I'd play rock music and grow long hair
I tell you boys I'd drive a new Rolls Royce
Pretty women hangin' on me
I'd give 'em all the third degree
Satin sheets to keep 'em off of the streets.

Hallelujah, hear me talkin' to ya
Praise the Lord and pass the tambourine
Great Jehova, you'll come over
As soon as ya see me boogie woogie cross the silver screen.

Hang 'em high and hang 'em low
Put 'em in the eyes wherever I go
Keep 'em all night feelin' just right

Hallelujah, hear me talkin' to ya
Praise the Lord and pass the tambourine
Great Jehova, you'll come over
As soon as ya see me boogie woogie cross the silver screen...
