  Gm                     Bb
I heard the Burritos out in California
      F                   C
Could fly higher than the birds
Gm                  Bb
Roger McGuinn had a twelve-string guitar
       F                     C
It was like nothing I'd ever heard
        Dm                      C
And the Eagles flew in from the west coast
         Dm                            C
Like the Byrds, they were trying to be free
         Bb                        F
While in Texas, the talk turned to outlaws
     C          Bb         F
Like Willie and Waylon and me


Chorus:
           G
Hey, well, they say Texas music's in the make
                                     D
And we've been making' music that is free
G                       C 
Doin' one-night stands, playing' with our bands
G       D          G   
Willie, Waylon and me - oh mad dog


Piano solo


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 Dylan would write poetry
And in Texas, the talk turned to outlaws like
Willie and Waylon and me

Recitation:
Hey, my name is David Allan Coe and I'm from Dallas, Texas

Chorus

Repeat Verse 1 and fade
