Don't you think this Outlaw bit has gotten way out of hand?
I'm thinking we need to get on back to the music and the man.
Some folks say we're on the right track, but if this is good I don't want to see bad.
So, give me some true blue honest truth about cheatin', lovin', and trains.
I want to hear a crying steel guitar and in a way that's a shame.
Give me some, “Mama Tried” or “An Angel Flying To Close To The Ground”.
Lord, take me back to when Waylon was around.
Hell, I know Hank didn't do it this way.
He broke the ground and paved his own way.
Now this music that I love is under fire.
You call it real, and I'll call you a liar.
I want to hear some true blue honest truth about cheatin', lovin', and trains.
I want to hear a crying steel guitar and in a way that's a shame.
Give me some, “Mama Tried” or “Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground”.
Lord, take me back to when Waylon was around.
There's still a few of us left standing our ground.
Just like Waylon did when he came to town.
Sang his songs and stood by what he said.
He's gone, but Outlaw Country ain't dead.
So, give me some true blue honest truth about cheatin', lovin', and trains.
I want to hear a crying steel guitar and in a way that's a shame.
Give me some, “Mama Tried” or “An Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground”.
Lord, take me back to when, oh take me back to when it was…
True blue honest truth about cheatin', lovin', and trains.
I want to hear a crying steel guitar and in a way that's a shame.
Give me some, “Mama Tried” or “An Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground”.
Lord, take me back to when Waylon was around.
