G D
It was like nothing I'd ever heard
Em D

Like The Byrds they were trying to be free

D C G

And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
D C G
Like Willie and Waylon and me, hey!

E
And we've been making music that is free
A D
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands
A E A
Willie, Waylon and me, big Jim!
