Well, I've had a wonderful career, but I think it's quite queer
       D            D7        G    D7

          D                 D7      G        D7
Jones and Toby, that man is totally gracious

But I'm thinking, "Damn, why not me?" We could even sing it on TV
          D           D7     G       D7
Just like him and old Julio Iglesias

I ain't never got to sing one with Willie

[Verse 3]
      G                 G7             C           C/B Am7
We've traveled back and forth, up and down all the highways
D              D7            G   D7
  Wherever our big buses can go
G                      G7               C        C/B  Am7
 And I think that it's great to finally sing one with Strait
        D             D7         G             D7
And our fans will all love it, I know (And I'm lovin' it, too, Willie)

Look at me now, I'm singing with Willie
D              D7                   G    D7
 Thank you, man, you just made my career
