Jennings, Waylon - Living Legends Part 2 Lyrics






Well the latest news from Nashville
Ain’t all good, but it ain’t bad
The worst I ever found there
Was the best I ever had
The new hats and the no hats
Are still coming on pretty strong
While me and Kris and John and Willie
Are stilling plodding right along

Clint Black’s moved out to Hollywierd
He’s in love and that’s a fact
Done found himself a movie star
Gonna show him how to act
Garth Brooks keeps selling millions
No that sure ain’t no joke
But I just can’t help looking for
A pig down in the poke

Have you seen Tanya Tucker
Hangin’ in there, hangin’ tough
Her and Dolly Pardon
Still got much more than enough
But a few new country ladies
That I’ve seen go dancin’ past
Should forget about Madonna
She ain’t got no country class

Travis Tritt’s got all the talent
Least it seems that way to me
He’s a little brash and cocky
But he’s got a right to be
Now Billy Ray keeps right on dancin’
Outta tune and outta time
He drives Bubbas up the wall
And girls out of their minds

Livin’ legends are a dying breed
There ain’t too many left
To tell the truth, I ain’t been feelin’
Real hot lately my damn self
But I ain’t old and I ain’t bitter
I ain’t mad at anyone
So don’t go takin’ seriously
What’s poked at you in fun

But if you’ve ever been to Nashville
I think you might agree
We’ve seen a lot of changes
Things we never thought we’d see
A rock-n-roller with a banjo
Now that I might recall
But a country singer with a brief case
Beats all I ever saw

Jennings, Waylon Living Legends Part 2 Comments
  1. P.... L....

    Waylon by god Jennings! Rest In Peace hoss.

  2. H.... ....

    Wish we could trade a few of today's country singers to have him back

  3. b.... c....

    I love the laugh at the end

  4. K.... ....

    You would have loved Waylon's stage show- I saw him several times- the last time was in 1994 at the Capital Music Hall in Wheeling WV. He came again in 1997 and I missed it- I should have gone. Anyhow, my big regret is not seeing the Highwaymen all together. I've seen them all separately. The Highwaymen did one last tour in the 90's and I wanted to go so badly but I couldnt get out of work... I thought "they will do another tour" .... I was WRONG. I should have just called off that night :-(

    @head318hunter their is still a few of em out their, but it sure ain't like it used to be

  6. S.... ....

    Waylon, Willie, JC, KK, Merle ..... back when country was real. They wrote songs about their real lives, love, pain, good times etc and the songs were great. Like fine wine they get better and better as time goes on. Today everything is strictly aimed at what'll make the most money. It's targeted to the lowest common denominator and most of it will be soon forgotten. But the outlaws will never die. Thank God I thumbed through my dads old albums 12 yrs ago and found Waylon's "Ramblin man"

  7. W.... H....

    Dont worry my Outlaw lovin brothers and sisters.
    They went and pissed on our man "Bocephus" ..
    We gonna have some fun now....lol
    I expect Waylon and John are watching this go down from the big show with our Father.......
    They will be counted again!!!!

  8. M.... L....

  11. r.... ....

    Waylon Jennings will be the Only Highwayman I missed out on to see him live I mean, I have seen Johnny, Kris and Willie, Waylon was in the Netherlands once, as far as I can remember, somewhere in the 80's and then I couldn't be at the show because of a family matter, it would be my only chance, I realized when he passed, I am sorry for the rest of my life for that. Thanks Waylon for what he has done for outlaw country music, R.I.P. much love & respect to the Legend that never really dies....

  12. X.... ....
