Writer: D. Coe
Waylon, Willie and Me David Allan Coe
Gm Bb
I'd heard The Burritos out in California
F C
could fly higher than The Byrds
Gm Bb
Roger McQuinn had a 12 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 Am
While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
C Bb F
Like Willie and Waylon and me.
Hey!
G
Well that ?somewhere? Texas music is in the make
D
And we've been making music that is free
G C
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands
G D G
Willie, Waylon and me
Oh Mad Dog! go to lead
G Gm Bb
They say The Beatles were just the beginning
F C
of everything music could be
Gm Bb
Just like The Stones I was rolling a lone
F C
Like a ship lost out on the sea
Dm C
And Joplin would die for the future
Dm C
And Dylan would write poetry
Dm Am
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
Bb F
Like Willie and Waylon and me
Hey!
G
My name is David Allan Coe and I'm from Dallas Texas.

Willie, Waylon and me
Big Jim!
