waylon jennings



I'm going to see Billy Joe Shaver tomorrow night, and his name is as (rightfully) tied to Waylon as Burt Bacharach's is to Dionne Warwick.

But...

The incredible Steve Young wrote this song in the 1970's and it became a Waylon signature. Take it from someone who just rode a Greyhound through the deep south in the middle of the night -- this is lyrically balls-on accurate. And it's a great Waylon performance, too.
