D I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks G
I'll admit I've taken things that I never should'a took
You can A read a different story in a lot of different books
But e G ven then you won't really know
How it A was a long time ag D o
VERSE TWO:
Women have been my trouble since I found out they weren't men
In spite of that I stopped and took a wife now and then
They built their fences high, but they couldn't hold me in
I was born with a fire down below
And I learned to fly a long time ago
VERSE THREE:
Don't ask me about the years I spent out in the rain
About the ones I spent in love or the ones I spent insane
Don't ask me who I gave my seat to on that plane
I think you already know
I told you that a long time ago
VERSE FOUR:
KEY CHANGE TO 'E'
E Me and ol' Willie, Lordy, we've been sold and bought
I A guess y'all heard about some kind of system that we fought
We B ain't the only outlaws, just the only ones they caught
They A tried to run us off but Willie's slow
I quit runnin' a long time E
ago
Waylon Jennings
