Brooks & Dunn - The Ballad Of Jerry Jeff Walker lyrics
rate me<FONT size="1"><B>(feat. Jerry Jeff Walker)</B></FONT><BR><BR>
Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the<br>
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack<br>
Yeah and he was the poet of the Lone Star state<br>
<br>
And I was young enough<br>
To think I was good enough to be his opening act<br>
And in a cloud of smoke he took another toke<br>
And counted one, two, three<br>
And I knew right there just breathing his air<br>
What I wanted to be<br>
<br>
Buckaroos and jaded lovers<br>
L.A. freeway and redneck mother<br>
Mothers who had raised a son so well<br>
Talking outlawed, long hair loners and stoners<br>
Singing about to come back home and<br>
Most likely too far gone to get there<br>
<br>
Hey, Kix, that was 76<br>
That was just enough beer to get us through the set<br>
And get as high as our crowd<br>
We got 700 miles Jerry, we gotta go<br>
You're out of your mind; you'll never make it on time<br>
Why not just have another round<br>
<br>
Oh, we were trying get paid<br>
Just trying to get laid<br>
Living on love<br>
Sleeping on the stage<br>
Just turn another page<br>
Never thinking we'd ever grow up<br>
<br>
Buckaroos and jaded lovers<br>
L.A. freeway and redneck mother<br>
Mothers who had raised a son so well<br>
Talking outlawed, long hair loners and stoners<br>
Singing about to come back home and<br>
Most likely too far gone to get there<br>
<br>
Well, the way I recall the 70's<br>
We were down in Austin and the establishment were<br>
Saying we were wasting our time<br>
The next thing I know<br>
We were making more money than we could count<br>
We're all being sued by the IRS<br>
And having more fun than the law allowed<br>
<br>
Yeah, I'm talking loners and stoners<br>
And sing about to come back home<br>
And most likely too far gone to get there.<br>
Yeah, they were all most likely too far gone to get there<br>
<br>
Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the<br>
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack<br>
Tools of the trade son<br>
<BR><BR>
