Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings

As the 'Billy World Turns

You get a pen and I'll get a paper

We're gonna write ourselves a song

We'll drive the poetics crazy

I don't think the damn thing's gonna rhyme.

I got a friend and I think he's goofy

I guess he thinks the same about me

Guess it really takes one to know one

And you look like an old friend of mine.

Out all night and acting crazy

I've been up for two whole days

Turn me over and roll me over

Wind me up for one more rhyme.

Well, he called me friend and he called me brother

I called him back but he was gone

He took my songs and he took my money

But the jokes on him he's the friend of a fool

Of a fool, of a fool.

You get a pen and I'll get a paper

We're gonna write ourselves a song

We'll drive the poetics crazy

I don't think the damn thing's gonna rhyme...
