Willie, Waylon And Me - David Allan Coe

I heard the Burritos out in California

Could fly higher than the Byrds

Roger McGuinn 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

Heyyy

Well they say Texas music’s in the make

And we’ve been making music that is free

Doing one night stands, playing with our bands

Willie, Waylon and me

Oh Mad Dog

They say the Beatles were just the beginning

Of everything music could be

Just like the Stones I was rolling alone

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

Heyyy

My name is David Allan Coe and I’m from Dallas Texas

They say Texas music’s in the make

And we’ve been making music that is free

Doing one night stands, playing with our bands

Willie, Waylon and me

Big Jim

I heard the Burritos out in California

Could fly higher than the Byrds

Roger McGuinn 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
