Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings

Hey Willie

Hey Willie let's pack up and catch us a slow train

And go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day

Where stars were for shining in the Arizona sky

And music meant more than fortune or fame

Willie, we wandered from border to border

Singing our stories and living our songs

Seems the farther we go, all that grows closer

Is a mind full of memories we made years ago

Hey Willie let's pack up and catch us a slow train

And go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day

Where stars were for shining in the Arizona sky

And music meant more than fortune or fame

We rolled through the towns like a bus load of gypsies

Motels and hotels ain't no place to stay

The favors we're taking, the money we're making

Won't pay for the living,we're giving away

Hey Willie let's pack up and catch us a slow train

And go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day

Where stars were for shining in the Arizona sky

And music meant more than fortune or fame
