I heard the burritos out in California
Could fly higher than the birds
Roger McGuinn had a 12-string guitar
It was like nothin Id ever heard
And the Eagles flew in from the West Coast
Like the birds they were trying to be free
While in Texas the talk turned to outlaw
Like Willie and Waylon and me. Heyyy
Well they say Texas musics in the makin
And we been makin music that is free
Doin one night stands, playin 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 along
Like a ship, lost out on the sea
And Joplin would die for the future
And Dillon would write poetry
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaw
Like Willie and Waylon and me. Heyyy
My name is David Allen Coe and Im from Dallas Texas
They say Texas musics in the makin
And we been makin music that is free
Doin one night stands, playin with our bands
Willie, Waylon and me. Big Jim
