Waylon
Recorded by Justin Haigh
Album: People Like Me (2011)

Intro.:  |(D)(A)|(D) ---

Well, I remember years a-(G)go driving down an old dirt (D)road
Waylon on the radi-(A)o singing songs that I loved (D) so (D7)

A rambling man is what he (G) was a Nashville rebel with a (D)cause
He knew how ladies loved (A)outlaws, this singer of sad (D) songs (D7)

He lived on the dark side of (G)pain, drinking and dreaming all the (D)way
But being crazy kept (A)him sane, now only memories re-(D)main

The good old boys still have (G)their fun, good hearted women still get it (D)done
The eagle sores from up (A)above, the wolf survives the man he (D) runs

Inst.:  |(G) |(G) |(D) |(D) |(A) |(A) |(D) |(D7)

Shooter carried the family (G) name, and this endangered species will re-(D)main
You know Hank done it this (A) way, and America's never been the (D)same (D7)

I think I'll buy an old black (G) rose, and wear it proud upon my (D) clothes
To commemorate the life (A) he chose, --- this Nashville bum the whole world knows |(D)(G)|(D) -----
