Eyes of Waylon

When it comes to real rounders, there's only one

That was better than I was at havin' some fun

Now it's true he shows grey in his beard

Does that mean he's history, or is he a pillar and a peer

This music called country, somethin' we all make

No, it didn't just happen cause of the latest rage

Soon he was the biggest thing to come along in Nashville in those days

He sang his song called "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way"

I don't know if he did or not but I sure know what I saw

The 1st triple platinum in that town was hanging on his wall

Radio will play him until the end of time

Because he's a real legend not the phony kind

And I looked in the eyes of Waylon

And there I saw things that I'd never seen before

I saw a father and a brother and a friend

I saw the nights we spent while out on the road

It's not the money, it's not the fame, it's not the ladies

And the eyes of Waylon just told me so

Yes, I looked in the eyes of Waylon

There I learned things that I better know

And if I doubted there is a hillbilly heaven

The eyes of Waylon just told me so

And if I doubted there is a hillbilly heaven

The eyes of old Waylon just told me so
