I have been with the best that the ba*tards could muster From danny the dil*o to sidney the snake And i feel like a working girl pausing to wonder Just how much screwin' the spirit can take Chorus: I said, "willie old buddy, please tell me again The reason to keep goin' on." He said, "there's no harder words to say over a friend Than they done you so righteously wrong They stopped you from singing your song" He was our hero, boys, he took the bullet But he went down swingin' his fist from the floor You can ask any working girl south of the border Sam peckinpah era un hombre for sure Chorus: Willie old buddy please tell me again The reason to keep goin' on He said, "there's no harder words to say over a friend Than they done you so righteously wrong They stopped you from singin' your song." But not me.
