WAYLON JENNINGS - TWO OLD SIDEWINDERS lyrics

rate me

You load the horses I'll pack the rigger

Let's tell 'em goodbye and walk out the door

One drink and one kiss can lead to too many

We ought to know cause we been there before

Eight hours of ridin' will put us in Houston

Two hours of sleep to make it or bust

Eight seconds of glory you stay in the money

And five year old whiskey to wash down the dust

That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers

That's all we ever intended to be

That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers

Two old sidewinders like you and me

Let's find us a place and a couple of ladies

Someone to lie to someone to trust

Someone who's impressed by a couple of outlaws

Who's gold plated trophies have turned into rust

Now we're damned near broke and we keep buyin' whiskey

Do you think they might settle for a bottle of wine

Well those two over there right there by the jukebox

Yours don't look back hoss but just look at mine

That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers...
