I'd heard The Burritos out in California
|
could fly higher than The Byrds
|
Roger McQuinn had a 12 string guitar.
|
It was like nothing I'd ever heard
|
And The Eagles flew in from the west coast
|
Like The Byrds they were trying to be free
|
While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
|
Like Willie and Waylon and me.
|
|
Hey!
|
Well that somewhere Texas music is in the make
|
And we've been making music that is free
|
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands
|
Willie, Waylon and me
|
|
Oh Mad Dog! go to lead
|
|
They say The Beatles were just the beginning
|
of everything music could be
|
Just like The Stones I was rolling a lone
|
Like a ship lost out on the sea
|
And Joplin would die for the future
|
And Dylan would write poetry
|
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
|
Like Willie and Waylon and me
|
|
Hey!
|
My name is David Allen Coe and I'm from Dallas Texas.
|
They say Texas music is in the make
|
And we've been making music that is free
|
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands
|
Willie, Waylon and me
|
|
Big Jim!
