Willie, Waylon and Me

I heard the burritos out in California

Could fly higher than the birds

Roger McGuinn had a 12-string guitar

It was like nothin' I'd ever heard

And the Eagles flew in from the West Coast

Like the birds they were trying to be free

While in Texas the talk turned to outlaw

Like Willie and Waylon and me. Heyyy

Well they say Texas music's in the makin'

And we been makin' music that is free

Doin' one night stands, playin' 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 along

Like a ship, lost out on the sea

And Joplin would die for the future

And Dillon would write poetry

And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaw

Like Willie and Waylon and me. Heyyy

My name is David Allen Coe and I'm from Dallas Texas

They say Texas music's in the makin'

And we been makin' music that is free

Doin' one night stands, playin' with our bands

Willie, Waylon and me. Big Jim

I heard the burritos out in California

Could fly higher than the birds

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 birds they were trying to be free

While in Texas the talk turned to outlaw

Like Willie and Waylon and me
