I heard that the Eagles out in California
Could fly higher than the birds
Roger McGuinn had a twelve-string Guitar
It was like nothin' I'd ever heard
And those Eagles flew in from the West Coast
Like King Birds they were soarin' high and free
While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
Like Willie, 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
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
