Gm Bb I heard the Burritos out in California F C Could fly higher than the birds Gm Bb Roger McGuinn had a twelve-string guitar F C It was like nothing I'd ever heard Dm C And the Eagles flew in from the west coast Dm C Like the Byrds, they were trying to be free Bb F While in Texas, the talk turned to outlaws C Bb F Like Willie and Waylon and me Chorus: G Hey, well, they say Texas music's in the make D And we've been making' music that is free G C Doin' one-night stands, playing' with our bands G D G Willie, Waylon and me - oh mad dog Piano solo 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 Recitation: Hey, my name is David Allan Coe and I'm from Dallas, Texas Chorus Repeat Verse 1 and fade
