[ duet with Waylon Jennings ]
I met an old friend this morning and I stopped him and called him by name
I said the years haven't changed you but he said good Lord how you've changed
So we stood there and talked on the corner and remembered the good times we had
Then he asked if we're happy together and I only smiled and I said
Yes she keeps me off the streets and she keeps me out of trouble
Sometimes at night Lord when I hear the wind
I wish I was crazy again yes I wish I was crazy again
[ guitar ]
Then we stopped in at a tavern we had us a round or two
We called ourselves old desperados old deperados as old friends are likely to do
We sat for a while and remembered then he said let's have just one more
I said I'd sure like to join you but best be goin' on home
Yes she keeps me off the streets...
She keeps me off the streets...
