Waylon Jennings Album

(Waylon Jennings)

This time if you want me to come back it's up to you
But remember I won't allow the things you used to do
You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line
This time will be the last time.

This time if I should feel unwanted I won't stay
Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today
It's all up to you but keep in mind
This time will be the last time.

If this time should be anything like the other times
This time will be the last time.

--- Instrumental ---

If this time should be anything like the other times
This time will be the last time.

(John J. Cale)

I got a gal in Baton Rouge she calls me Louisiana
She gives me a little something to eat
She knows just what I want
She treats me right
Lord, Lord, Lord treats me right (yes she does)
Treats me right. (yeah, take it Willie)

--- Instrumental ---

I went down to New Orleans to have myself a ball
The ladies there they don't care they just don't care at all
But they treat you right Lord Lord Lord treat you right Louisiana gal treats you right.

--- Instrumental ---

From the gulf of the Mississippi up to Baton Rouge
With the Louisiana ladies boy you just can't lose
They'll treat you right
Lord, Lord, Lord treat you right
Yeah, treat you right boy.

--- Instrumental ---

I got a gal in Baton Rouge she called me Louisiana...

Some people are saying that time will take care of people like me
That I'm living too fast and they say I can't last much longer
But little they see that their thoughts of me is my saviour
And little they know I might live forever
So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time'll take care of itself so just leave time alone
And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home

I'm wild and I'm mean I'm creatin' a scene I'm goin' crazy
I'm good and I'm bad and I'm happy and sad and I'm lazy
I'm quiet and I'm loud and I'm gatherin' a crowd and I like gravy
About half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy
So pick up the tempo...
Yeah pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home

Slow Rollin' Low
SLOW ROLLIN' LOW
(Billy Joe Shaver)

I got a slow rollin' low
Ain't a mother would want me
Done got me so down bent out of round
Don't know my head from my toes.

Ain't a hand here to hold
Ain't a shoulder to cry on
Ain't a lesson to learn or a corner to turn
Twixt the dyin' and me.

Lord, I wanted to be
Something you could depend on
Lawdy, Lawd, woe is me
Ain't a body would care.

I got a slow rollin' low
Forgot the words to my song
Ain't that just like a fool to want a ride
On them trains when the train is all gone.

Sometimes it's heaven,sometimes it's hell
Sometimes i don't even know
Sometimes i take it as far as i can
Sometimes i don't even go

Chorus:
My front tracks are headed for a cold water well
My back tracks are covered in snow
Sometimes it's heaven,sometimes it's hell
Sometimes i don't even know

Heaven ain't walking a street paved with gold
Hell ain't a mountain of fire
Heaven is laying in my sweet baby's arms
Hell is when my baby's not there

Chorus bis:(a tone higher)
My front tracks are headed for a cold water well
My back tracks are covered in snow
Sometimes it's heaven,sometimes it's hell
Sometimes i don't even know

Sometimes it's heaven,sometimes it's hell
Sometimes i don't even know

It's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to control you
And like the other little children you're gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin' or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you
It's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to console you

You go out to play this evenin' play with fire flies till they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover play with real fire till the dawn
It's not supposed to be that way...

(Dee Moeller)

All your ol' stations are being torn down
And the high flying trains no longer roar
The floors're all sagging with boards a suffering
From not being used anymore.

Things're all changing the world's rearranging
A time that will soon be no more
Where has a slow movin'
Once quickdraw outlaw got to go?

--- Instrumental ---

The whiskey that once settled the dust
And tasted so fine now taste so faint
And the mem'ries that once floated out come back stronger
More clearly with each drink you take.

The women that warmed you once thought
So pretty now look haggard and old
Where has a slow movin'
Once quickdraw outlaw got to go?

--- Instrumental ---

The land where I travel once fashion with beauty
Now stands with scars on her face
The wide open spaces are closing in quickly
From the ways of the whole human race.

And it's not that I blame them for claiming her bounty
I just wish they're takin' it slow
'Cause where has a slow movin'
Once quick draw outlaw got to go?

Where has a slow movin'
Once quick draw outlaw got to go?...

(Miriam Eddy)

I can give you golden tinkling bells
To even dangle through your long black hair
I can give you magic satin slippers
Woven just to take you anywhere.

I can give you all the love and tenderness
A broken heart can spare
But Mona take the love I give
Don't ask for love I gave away back there.

You could take the hand of any man
And show him how to dream
Why do you look back into my dark
And bitter past, can't you see?

Mona when you found me
All I had was sad and broken dreams
Mona please be satisfied walking
Through tomorrow here with me.

--- Instrumental ---

I can give you golden tinkling bells
To even dangle through your long black hair
I can give you magic satin slippers
Woven just to take you anywhere...

(Willie Nelson)

After carefully considerin' the whole situation
I stand with my back to the wall
Walkin' is better than runnin' away
And crawlin' ain't no good at all.

If guilty's the question, truth is the answer
I've been lyin' to me all alone
There ain't nothin' worth savin' except one another
And before you'll wake up I'll be gone.

'Cause after carefully considerin' the whole situation
And I stand with my back to the wall
Walkin' is better than runnin' away
And crawlin' ain't no good at all.

Mhm, mhm, walkin' is better than runnin' away
And crawlin' ain't no good at all...

(Lee Clayton)
Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson

Funny a woman can come on so wild and free
Yet insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
And stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold.

One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
I'd rather have one than none Lord I'm flesh and bone
Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all
She could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all.

Right or wrong a woman can own any man
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
Then leave him as weak and weary as a newborn child
Fighting to get his first breath and open his eyes.

One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
I'd rather have one than none Lord I'm flesh and bone
Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all
She could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all...
