Jennings, Waylon - The Door Is Always Open Lyrics






Saw your picture in the paper and I see you've married good
And I know that he can give you all the things I never could
But I know that he can't give you what you need most of all
So the door is always open and the light's on in the hall
Yes the door is always open and the light's on in the hall
And you know that I'll be waiting if you'd ever come to call

When night falls on that mansion and you're lying in his bed
When he begs for your attention will you think of me instead
When he reaches out to touch you is your face turned to the wall
Well the door is always open and the light's on in the hall
Yes the door is always open...

  22. P.... R....

    there was always a sweetness to Waylon

  23. N.... L....

    Didn't burn that bridge.

  24. L.... P....

    xoxo Normy

  25. N.... A....

    It was always open

  26. r.... g....

    A great song written by Dickie Lee and Bob McDill, several people have done this I think Dave and Sugar may have had the first hit on it. Waylon's version is the one I prefer, to me it is the voice of a guy living that life.

    r.... g....

    sorry my grandfather Hayden Futrell wrote this song and sold the rights, its well documented.

  27. D.... 5....

    95 mentally insane people were here

  28. V.... R....

    One of his greatest songs...I will always love Waylon...R.I.P. my friend.

  29. W.... S....

    Waylon was the best
    Country music has backed up from what it was since 2000
    Now country dj s are giving us artist with a blend of snoop dog and Barry manilow

  30. G.... B....

    one of his best songs.

  31. c.... v....

    mooi hoor

  32. l.... s....

    Great singer the man that changed country music.

  33. w.... h....

    on the tape

  34. w.... h....

    yes sam my bride to be i have this eight track and i seen silver for the first time

  35. l.... ....

    The great Waylon

  36. B.... D....

    I think Dickie lee wrote this, if i'm wrong who the hell cares, Dickie wrote 'she thinks I sill care'.

    B.... D....

    Hayden Futrell wrote this song and sold the rights , it is very well documented. Its incredible honor to hear Waylon singing it. My grandfather wasn't a rich man but never sought the glory. He stood by his contract.

  37. i.... ....

    for Phyllis Dunne Morrisey. from a old flame

  38. E.... O....

    just love this song R.I.P. hoss love you forever

  39. M.... C....

    There will never be another Waylon.  His voice was soulful and that smile of his was magnetic.  What an incredible talent and one that will live on for those who truly love great country music.

    M.... C....

    He was the best country singer ever in my opinion.

  40. d.... ....

  53. D.... L....

    YES THE DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN AT MY PLACE FOR YOU

  54. Z.... B....

    Id like to apologize for the actions of my generation. The rest of my generation enjoys ruining country music by listening to sam hunt. We need to more Waylon

    Z.... B....

    Lmao old people said waylon was ruining country too

    Z.... B....

    @w6p7a Mike's brother.

    Z.... B....

    @Dave Mustardstain Mike's brother

    Z.... B....

    They would never play Waylon on todays radio.

    Z.... B....

    Im todays generation, don't like the modern music at all. It's 24/7 Waylon Jennings & Elvis Presley. I wish more of my age would listen to this amazing music from back in the days. I live in The Netherlands and I never fit in but i'm fine with that. Got to keep their music alive 💕

  55. D.... W....

    Caused my four divorces right there...shhhhhhh

  56. C.... D....

    how can I have missed this this song my friends will now know from tomorrow -- with my love for my singer of well good songs ,many of his own, and well chosen songs of others -- sung in that beautiful baritone voice, with passion that a Welsh woman loves to hear!

  57. K.... A....

    different artists have sung this song..but none like waylon..believe it or not waylon does elvis' songs even better than the king

    K.... A....

    listen to Jamey Johnson's version.  I actually like his a little better than Waylon's... and that's saying something coming from me because I'm a huge Waylon fan

    K.... A....

    of course your invited need you for a best man

  58. R.... S....

    From "Dreaming My Dreams" Album ~ Wouldn't you know?❤️

  59. S.... P....

    What a voice..my favorite song..my favorite bad boy.... woof!

  60. D.... O....

    Waylon is in Heaven making his great music

  61. L.... N....

    Extraordinary voice and style, his songs bring back so many memories of my youth in Ireland, country is not just confined to the US!!!!

    d.... g....

    Country Music USA came from Ireland. I am half Irish/Scots. My YT channel TheDustysix has Irish and Scots playlists. History, Music and the influence of both on shaping my Country's society.
