Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson - Laid Back Country Picker lyrics

South bound out of Shreveport heading hell bent for his grave He reads a sign on the barn door that says the good lord Jesus saves But I don't think Jesus knows him 'cause he ain't the Jesus kind He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind He gave the folks a good show at the Shreveport Coliseum They all heard he's dying, so they all come out to see Friends and neighbors make him happy Lord them snuff queens treat him kind He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind Uppers, downers, turn arounders picked him up and laid him down His old troubles keep on swimming 'cause their to damn mean to drown He keeps looking for an answer I know he's never gonna find He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind Big Bertha, back in Beaumont says he really turns her on She hits the floor a dancing, when the DJ plays his song You can see somebody loves him, or at least they did one time He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind
