Willie Waylon And Me Lyrics - David Allan Coe

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, 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, hey 

My name is David Allen 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'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
