Jennings, Waylon - Six Strings Away Lyrics
In days gone by but not forgotten
I plowed in the fields and I pulled in the cotton
Things you'd never think I've done when you see me now
I pick and sing and they think I'm a star
But every time I look down at my old guitar
I drive a new Royce Rolls
Buy them tailor made clothes
How long will good times stay
A poor boy ways
And hard time days
Just six strings away.
[Instrumental]
In a little country town where I played a show
And though I love her I still wonder just what she'd do
If I laid that old guitar down
How long would she hang around?
Or is she just six strings away from someone new.
Well, them six little strings
Buy rings and good things
But how long would she stay
If she knew poor boy ways
And and hard time days
Just six strings away...

Jennings, Waylon Six Strings Away Comments
Fantastic. Always loved Waylon's voice and guitar playing, whether he was young or old.
the talent was bottled till it busted. RIP Waylon
Love his hair...
had to smile. The song is called "6 strings away", and ol' Waylon is clearly playing a 12 string.
I wonder if that's why he has that sly smile......
happy 75 th Waylon...
one of my faves...he just looks so young and hot...love him.
We saw him when he looked like this - at the Palamino in California. His voice always got me - so rich and good. I think his band was called the waylers but I could be wrong.
He looked so much better without those unruly hair, and more hair on his face.
one of the best songs i ever listned to
i like how he is playing a 12 string guitar singing 6 strings away
i want a jacket like that:))) waylon rules!!!
What a man!!!!
Old Waylon... back before her let his hair grow... the way I knew him in Phoenix.
AWESOME AWESOME song!!! This song needs to be re done...say..Slash maybe....great f'ing song...wow!!!!
that is one cool jacket
love it
great video,,, waylon was just cool big time... thumb up !!!
@MrRex41591 That is a pretty awesome jacket. Waylon Lives On!!!
Wow. I didn't even listen to the words, (which is damn near impossible when Waylon's singing them), all I could do was stare at him! Nice. Thank you.
the man!!
He is looking HOT there!!!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!
GREAT!!!
Awesome Video
Waylon is playing a very rare Fender 12 string acoustic guitar. First time I've seen one. The neck headstock is beautiful, just like the electric model I believe.
Awesome singing, rings so true.
Great video:-)
watasha hell yeah!
Early Waylon is awesome. The Journey : Destinys Child & Six Strings Away are excellent box sets, well worth buying. 5+ great video
That cheeky little smile just knocks me out.
This is great !
Luv you Waylon
Roys Rollce :D
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
He says "Roys Rollce" at 0:38 :D
GREAT! I like Waylon a lot, on of the greatest of country music. Maybe even of music all in all!!
What a gem! Thanks for posting this.
