"Willie, Waylon And Me (Reprise)"

"Willie, Waylon And Me (Reprise)"

They say The Beatles were just the beginning of everything music could be
Just like The Stones I was rolling along like a ship lost out on the sea
And Joplin would die for the future and Dylan would write poetry
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws like Willie and Waylon and me
Hey well that they say Texas music is in the make
And we've been making music that is free
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands Willie Waylon and me

"Would They Love Me Down In Shreveport"

"Would They Love Me Down In Shreveport"

If they saw me riding in long hair flying in the wind
Would They Love Me Down in Shreveport today
If I only sang the blues, and wore patent leather shoes
Would They Love Me Down in Nashville today
If they saw me talk with ease to the drunkard and the thieves
Would They Love Me out in Wichita today
Would the rich me think it's funny, if I said give up your money
Would They Love Me up on Wall street today
If I made the wine from water, gave it to there sons and daughters
What would the saints in Salt lake City say
If I talked of brotherhood walking through there neighborhoods
Would They Love Me up in Boston today
If I said love those how use you, and forgive those how abuse you,
and turn the other cheek what would you say
If you saw me riding in long hair flying in the wind
Would you Love Me Down in
Would you Love Me Down in

"Would You Be My Lady"

"Would You Be My Lady"

Would you hold on to my hand when I get lonely
Could I come to you whenever I'm in need
Would you always have a place for me to lay my body down
Would you be my lady, in the morning
Would you be lady

Would you walk with me across the bridges I forgot to burn
Could you face the future looking at my past
If I took the time to teach you all the things you'll need to learn
To be my lady, when I need you
Would you be my lady

Does it matter to you that you're not my first love
Would you let a thing like that stand in your way
If I said you was the woman that could ease my troubled mind
Would you be my lady, when I need you
Would you be my lady

Would you walk with me across the bridges I forgot to burn
Could you face the future looking at my past
If I took the time to teach you all things you'll need to learn
To be my lady, in the morning
Would you be my lady

Would you always have a place for me to lay my body down

"Would You Lay With Me"

"Would You Lay With Me"

Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my needs were strong, would you lay with me

Should my lips grow dry,
Would you wet them, dear
In the midnight hour,
If my lips were dry

Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dying hand
If I give myself to you

Would you lay with me
In the stream of life
When the moon is full,
Would you bathe with me

Will you still love me,
When I'm down and out
In my time of trial,
Would you stand by me

Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dying hand
If I give myself to you

Would you lay with me
In a field of stone
If my needs were strong,
Would you lay with me

"Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone)"

Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my needs were strong would you lay with me
Should my lips grow dry would you wet them dear
In the midnight hour if my lips were dry
Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dying hand if I give myself to you

Would you bathe with me in the stream of life
When the moon is full will you bathe with me
Will you still love me when I'm down and out
In my time of trials will you stand by me
Would you go away...
Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my needs were strong would you lay with me

"X's And O's (Kisses And Hugs)"

Deliver de letter de sooner de better
The upside down stamp meant the kisses were wetter
I.S.Y.I.M.D., I'll see you in my dreams, honey

T.S., T.S., T.S.A., S.W.A.K

Lots of hours for you to see
What I was saying back then when we were still green

P.M.P.M.D.S.O.F.'s not hard at all
Please Mr. Post Man don't stumble or fall
I still remember what M.B.D.D.F.C. means

S.W.P.A.P. was a twister
Sprinkled with powder and perfume, my sister took
Two days to figure out sweet dreams forever sweet dreams

S.D.F.S.D. had her seeing double
The envelope looked like a good Chinese puzzle
Yes I got those letters you wrote me when we were fifteen
By younger son and the oldest son

Deliver de letter de sooner de better
The upside down stamp meant the kisses were wetter

"You Can Count On Me"

"You Can Count On Me"

You can count on me, girl, you can count on me
I won't ever let you down, you can count on me

You say you want a working man
To bring the money home
Someone to be good to you
And never do you wrong
A man that wants to settle down
And put his feet on solid ground
You want a love that's safe and sound
You can count on me.

You say you're looking for a man
To be there when you call
Someone who will stand by you
And never let you fall
A man that you can call your own
A man that you can trust alone
To love when the children's grown
You can count on me.

"You Never Even Call Me By My Name"

"You Never Even Call Me By My Name"

Well, it was all
That I could do to keep from crying'
Sometimes it seemed so useless to remain
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me by my name

You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
And you don't have to call me Charlie pride
And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore
Even though you're on my fighting' side

[Chorus:]
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing' in the rain
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even called me by my name

Well, I've heard my name
A few times in your phone book (hello, hello)
And I've seen it on signs where I've played
But the only time I know
I'll hear "David Allan Coe"
Is when Jesus has his final judgment day

[Repeat chorus]

[Recitation:]
Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
And he told me it was the perfect country & western song
I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was
Not the perfect country & western song because he hadn't said anything at all about mama,
Or trains,
Or trucks,
Or prison,
Or getting' drunk
Well he sat down and wrote another verse to the song
And he sent it to me,
And after reading it,
I realized that my friend had written the perfect
Country & western song
And I felt obliged to include it on this album
The last verse goes like this here:

Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got run ned over by a damned old train

[Chorus:]
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing' in the rain
No, a' you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me
Well I wonder why you don't call me
Why don't you ever call me by my name

"You'll Always Live Inside Of Me"

"You'll Always Live Inside Of Me"

You could sail across the water
Take the kids and set me free
You could die and go to heaven
But you'll always live inside of me

You'll always live inside of me, girl
You'll always live inside of me
Just as long as I am breathing'
You'll always live inside of me

They could take me back to prison
They could throw away the key
Just as long as I am breathing'
You'll always live inside of me

"Young Dallas Cowboy"

"Young Dallas Cowboy"

Well, I've hiked through the sage brush,
I ran up some rail
I slept on the bench in a few county jails
And they laugh as they knocked all the wind from my sail
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy

I've tried hard to tackle the problems at hand
I've kicked a few habits, and I've marched to the band
I tried hard to follow the lady of the land
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy

I've made a few passes that weren't incomplete
I stumbled through yards on my way to the street
Running from beds where I did more than sleep
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy

[Talk]
Well, he tackled the bottle and he fumbled the ball
And he'd touchdown in alleys along where he'd fall
Just wait for his son to make up for it all
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy

When I was a baby, he broke up the team
Divorcing my Mama to live with a dream
He had back in college when he was still green
And I was a young Dallas Cowboy

Now the footballs I held did not fit in my hand
Got me a guitar and I've got me a band
So don't put me down when I'm taking my stand
Be proud of this young Dallas Cowboy
Yeah I'm proud I'm a young Dallas Cowboy
Be proud of those young Dallas Cowboys
