Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings

Lady In The Harbor

The snow got much to deep for me in Denver

THe rain fell way to hard out in LA

I couldn't stand the sandstorms in West Texas

That's all it took for me to be on my way

Then a friend told me about the beaches down in Georgia

He said the weather's fine boy, the livins your (?) fits your style

That's why I'm on this workgame in the hot sun.

Where the red necked judge gettin' ready for an unfair trial

But there's a lady on my mind in New York city

All alone she's burned her torch for me

She stands tall and proud in New York Harbor

And in time I know you'll see that I go free

The man told me I'd better change my way of livin'

He said now we got laws just made for the likes of you

Ain't got time for your kind here in this town

He just wouldn't believe that I was only passing through

Let me be the first to say there's gotta be some changes

And he may be right some changes ought to be in me

But the same damn law that put me on this workgame

Give you and me the right to disagree
