I Gmheard the Burritos out Bbin California
Could Ffly higher than the Cbirds
GmRoger McGuinn had a Bbtwelve-string guitar
It was Flike nothing I'd ever Cheard
And the DmEagles flew in from the Cwest coast
Like the DmByrds, they were trying to be Cfree
While in BbTexas, the talk turned to Foutlaws
Like CWillie and BbWaylon and Fme

Chorus:
Hey, well, Gthey say Texas music's in the make
And we've been making' music that is Dfree
GDoin' one-night stands, Cplaying' with our bands
GWillie, DWaylon and Gme - oh mad dog

Piano solo

They say the Beatles were just the beginning
Of everything music could be
Just like the Stones, I was rolling along
Like a ship lost out on the sea
And Joplin would die for the future
And Dylan would write poetry
And in Texas, the talk turned to outlaws like
Willie and Waylon and me

Recitation:
Hey, my name is David Allan Coe and I'm from Dallas, Texas

Chorus

Repeat Verse 1 and fade
