******************* A LONG TIME AGO *******************
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 2nd fret.
Verse 1:
I don t look the way the average cowboy singer looks
I ll admit i ve taken things i never should of took
You can read a different story in a lot of different books
But even then you won t really know
How it was a long time ago
Verse 2:
Women have been my trouble since i found out they weren t men
In spite of that i stopped and took a wife now and then
They built their fences high but they couldn t hold me in
I was born with a fire down below
And i learned to fly a long time ago
Verse 3:
Don t ask me about the years i spent out in the rain
About the ones i spent in love or the ones i spent insane
Don t ask me who i gave my seat to on that plane
I think you already know
I told you that a long time ago
Verse 4:(a tone higher)
Me and ol Willie,lordy we ve been sold and bought
I guess you all heard about some kind of system that we fought
We ain t the only outlaws just the only ones they caught
They tried to run us off but Willie s slow
I quit running a long time ago
