cnd Lyr Req: Waylon's T-Shirt (Dick Damron) (11) RE: Lyr Req: Waylon's T-Shirt (Dick Damron) 21 Feb 23


999's video of old is now down, but you can listen here. Below is my transcription.

For the uninitiated, the references are to outlaw country stars of the 70s: Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristopherson (mostly known as a songwriter, but also a talented singer in his own right), Jerry Jeff Walker, and David Allan Coe. In the outro he makes references to, among other songs, Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain, She's a Good Hearted Woman, and George Jones (the woops).

WAYLON'S T-SHIRT

CHORUS
With my Waylon Jennings's t-shirt, Willie Nelson haircut
Kris's lyrics running through my brain
Too much drink and too much smoke
Tell your friends -- ain't no joke
Sometimes I don't know who the hell I am

And I'm tired of chasing other people's rainbows
Sick of someone else's dreams and plans
You know it ain't the money, it's the music
But sometimes I don't know who the hell I am

CHORUS

I've sung those songs about Tennessee and Texas
Like Jerry Jeff and David Allan Coe
Lord, I love that funky country music
But I'm tired of singing songs that I don't know

CHORUS

[Mumbles his way through several of their famous song endings at the end]
