Waylon

Well I remember years ago

Driving down an old dirt road

Waylon on the radio

Singing songs that I loved so

A rambling man is what he was

A Nashville rebel with a cause

He knew how ladies loved outlaws

This singer of sad songs

He lived on the dark side of pain

Drinking and dreaming all the way

But being crazy kept him sane

Now only memories remain

The good old boys still have their fun

Good hearted women still get it done

The eagle sores from up above

The wolf survives the man he runsShooter carried the family name

And this endangered species will remain

You know Hank done it this way

And American's never been the same

I think I'll buy an old black rose

And wear it proud upon my clothes

To commemorate the life he chose

This Nashville bum the whole world knows
