Untitled Waltz - Waylon Jennings

Well I’ve got an old friend, he’s wilder than you are

I don’t understand how he stays on his feet

Just when you’re thinking he’s gonna go too far

He pulls it all in and he don’t miss a beat

He’s walked beside me, he’s never denied me

If hee had to hide me then by God he would

One thing he taught that I carry inside me

We all got where we are as fast as we could

Saints are just sinners who never quit tryin'

Losers are winners who pick their own day

And we’re all just beginners when it comes time for dyin'

But rest your mind easy 'cause you’ll die anyway

Well I heard of this poet, come hell or high water

Wrote a new poem a day every day of the week

I asked what if some days don’t work like they oughta

He said I lower my standards and I get me some sleep

So you judges and juries and wild vigilantes

If you got my number, my number’s been changed

Me and my woman gonna lay around this shanty

Keep makin' love 'til that’s all that remains

Rest your mind easy 'cause you’ll die… anyway
