waylon jennings - 33rd of august

Today there's no salvation band's packed up and gone
I'm left standing with my penny in my hand
Down at railroad station a blind man sings his song
I think he sees things I don't understand.

It's the 33rd of August
And I'm finally touching down
Eight days from Sunday
Finds me Saturday bound.

I stumbled through the darkness tumble to my knees
A thousand voices screaming in my brain
Wound up in a squad car busted down for vacancy
Outside my cell it's sure as hell looks just like rain.

It's the 33rd of August
And I'm finally touching down
Eight days from Sunday
Finds me Saturday bound.

I've put my dangerous feelings under lock and chain
Killed my violent nature with a smile
Let the demons danced and sang their songs within my fevered brain
Not all my God like thoughts were defiled.

It's the 33rd of August
And I'm finally touching down
Eight days from Sunday
Finds me Saturday bound...

waylon jennings - a bad day

Verse 1:
I guess it all started when I woke up this morning
Everything seemed okay
'Til I let my pet snake get loose in the kitchen
Now I've been in trouble all day

Verse 2:
I got some paint on the wall, a pretty orange color
And a little on the carpet and floor
I covered it up with mom's coat from the closet
That she says she can't wear anymore

Chorus:
I've had a bad, bad day
Not like I thought it would be
I've had a bad,bad day
It seems like everyone's pickin' on me

Verse 3:
I put some sand in my grandpa's tobacco
And he frowned at me all day
Then I hid his pipe 'cause it smells when he smokes it
He shouldn't smoke anyway

Verse 4:
So between mom's coat and my grandpa's tobacco
Life can be rough on a kid
They've almost worn out the seat of my britches
It don't hurt much now,but it did

Chorus (x2).

waylon jennings - a couple more years

I've got a couple more years on you baby that's all
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
That's not that I'm wiser it's just that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall.

And I've picked up a couple more years on you baby that's all
I've walked a couple more roads than you baby that's all
And I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl
And you're going somewhere but I've been to somewhere
And found it was nowhere at all.

And I've picked up a couple more years on you baby that's all.

--- Instrumental ---

Saying goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all
But you've got to fly cause you're hearin' them young eagles call
Someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall
And say I've got a couple more years on you baby that's all.

You'll say I've got a couple more years on you baby that's all
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
That's not that I'm wiser it's just that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall...

waylon jennings - a good hearted woman

A long time forgotten the dreams that just fell by the way
The good life he promised ain't what she's been living today
But she never complains of bad times and the bad things he's done
She just talks about the good they've had
And all the good times to come

Chorus:
She's a good hearted woman in love with her good timin' man
She loves him in spite of his wicked ways she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter
They'll pass through this world hand in hand
This good hearted woman lovin' her good timin' man

He likes the bright lights the night life
And the good timin' friends
And when the party's all over she'll welcome him back home again
Lord she don't understand but she does the very best that she can
She's a good hearted woman lovin' her good timin' man

Repeat chorus twice

waylon jennings - a legend in my time

If heartaches brought fame in love's crazy game
I'd be a legend a living legend in my time
If they gave gold statues for tears and regrets
I'd be a legend a living legend in my time.

But they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend a living in my time.

--- Instrumental ---

But they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend a living in my time...

waylon jennings - a long time ago

I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks
I'll admit i've taken things i never should of took
You can read a different story in a lot of different books
But even then you won't really know
How it was a long time ago

Women have been my trouble since i found out they weren't men
In spite of that i stopped and took a wife now and then
They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in
I was born with a fire down below
And i learned to fly a long time ago

Don't ask me about the years i spent out in the rain
About the ones i spent in love or the ones i spent insane
Don't ask me who i gave my seat to on that plane
I think you already know
I told you that a long time ago

Me and ol' Willie,lordy we've been sold and bought
I guess y'all heard about some kind of system that we fought
We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught
They tried to run us off but Willie's slow
I quit running a long time ago

waylon jennings - a lot of good

As i watched the tail lights disappear
Suddenly it got real lonely here
I know the words i could have said
To make her turn around
But a lot of good it's gonna do me now

I could have started with i'm sorry
And really meant it from the heart
The rest would have been easy
Together in the dark

We could have found that old time feeling
That we lost somewhere somehow
But a lot of good it's gonna do me now

Still thinking about the things i could have said
And looking at her picture by the bed
I realized just what i've lost as i pulled the covers down
But a lot of good it's gonna do me now

I could have told her i was sorry
And really meant it from the heart
The rest would have been easy
Together in the dark

We could have found that old time feeling
That we lost somewhere somehow
But a lot of good it's gonna do me now
A lot of good it's gonna do me now

waylon jennings - ain t no god in mexico

Down the road a ways I've heard said a new day's coming on
Where the womenfolk are friendly and the law leaves you alone
Well, I'll believe it when I see it, and I haven't seen it yet
Don't mind me, just keep on talkin'--I'm just looking for my hat
There ain't no God in Mexico, ain't no way to understand
How that border-crossing feeling makes a fool out of a man
If I'd never felt the sunshine, hell I would not curse the rain
If my feet could fit a railroad track, I guess I'd-a been a train

Me and Louise Higginbotham used to chase across the yard
Back in 1947, that's when more than times were hard
Well pity me, I didn't find the line in time like a fool
In front of God and everybody I politely blew my cool
Ain't no God in Mexico ain't no comfort in the can
When you're down in Matamoros gettin' busted by the man
If I'd never felt the sunshine, hell I would not curse the rain
If I hadn't been railroaded, well I guess I'd been a train

waylon jennings - all around cowboy

Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck been through the best of his friends
On a long lonesome highway in an old pickup truck
Crossed Texas like a hot dusty wind
He was all around cowboy back in1949 from the top it's been long way down
Since the whiskey and the women started winnin' his time
They rode him high and hard to the ground
He remembers the thrill of bein' a winner in the days of his first rodeo
But there's somethin' about winning that didn't last forever
Maybe tomorrow things'll get better if devil lets loose of his soul
He'll be be the all around cowboy again
[ ac.guitar ]
So he rolls up a smoke and he sips his Old Crow
Whipes the whiskers that cover his chin
And he grins as he dreams of old rodeo he's the all around cowboy again
He remembers the thrill...

waylon jennings - all of me belongs to you

All of me belongs to you all the time
You're the only one that's ever on my mind
There's no way that I would ever be untrue
There's not one single part of me
That don't miss you through and through
All of me belongs to you.

My eyes're worthless when you're not here to see
My lips would be forgotten if you forgotten me
My arms ached from reaching out to you the way they do
There's not one single part of me
That don't miss you through and through
All of me belongs to you.

Fingers claw the darkness in my dreams
Searchin' for a love I lost, I can't redeem
I'm yours and I can't give my heart to someone new
There's not one single part of me that my heart don't include
All of me belongs to you.

--- Instrumental ---

All of me belongs to you...

waylon jennings - all of my sisters are girls

Chorus:
All of my sisters are girls
With long hair, ponytails, pigtails and curls
A kid needs a friend so why in the world
Did all of my sisters just have to be girls

Verse 1:
They giggle and whisper a lot
They act like they're grown up but I know they're not
They can climb a tree and they can't catch a ball
They're really no fun at all

Chorus.

Verse 2:
When I'm bored with nothing to do
I can have fun whenever I want to
I just hide in the closet so they won't know I'm there
And they're really easy to scare

Chorus (x2).

waylon jennings - alone

Isn't that anyone who'll take me like I am
Someone who's willing to take a blue in man
Someone that please enough with himself to let me be
Someone who'd love me and try to understand my needs
No I guess there isn't and there's no place I can go I guess I'm destined to be alone
Good thing that somewhere in this world there'll be
Someone who wouldn't always try to change me
Someone not trying to prove their way is right
Take a flame that's burnin' and just put out the light
No I guess there isn't and there's no place I can go I guess I'm destined to be alone

waylon jennings - amanda

I've held it all inward, God knows, I've tried,
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life,
To look in the mirror in total surprise.
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes.

Amanda, light of my life.
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.
Amanda, light of my life.
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.

It's a measure of people who don't understand,
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band.
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen,
Well I finally made forty, still wearing jeans.

Amanda, light of my life.
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.
Amanda, light of my life.
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.

waylon jennings - america

Some have said, down through history
If you last it's a mystery
But I guess they don't know, what they're talking about
From the mountains down to the sea
You've become such a habit with me
America, Amer-ica

Well I come from, down around Tennesee
But the people in California
Are nice to me, Amer-ica
It don't matter where I may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
America, Amer-ica

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America

And the men, who fell on the plains
And lived, through hardship and pain
America, Amer-ica
And the men who could not fight
In a war that didn't seem right
You let them come home, America

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America

Well I come from, down around Tennesee
But the people in California
Are nice to me, Amer-ica
It don't matter where I may roam

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America

Tell you people that it's home sweet home
America, Amer-ica
America, Amer-ica

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America

It's home sweet home, Amer-ica
America, Amer-ica

waylon jennings - anita your dreaming

Anita come closer, stop crying and listen to me
I guess its too late now but somehow I must make you see
What we thought wes our world was only a dream world
and we just can't go on like this
Anita your dreaming of a world that can never exist

Anita it's over there's nothing that's left now to say
Anita your dreaming and I know it's better this way

Anita come closer and close your pretty blue eyes
Your young dreams just can't be and somehow you must realize
That each time your with me my conscious reminds me
of someone who's waiting alone
Anita your dreaming and when you awake I'll be gone

Anita it's over there's nothing that's left now to say
Anita your dreaming and I know it's better this way
