Hey Willie

(Roger Murrah - Waylon Jennings)



Hey Willie, let's pack up and catch us a slow train

Go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day

Where stars were shining in the Arizona sky

And music meant more than fortune or fame.



Willie, we wandered from border to border

Singing our stories and living our songs

Seems the farther we go all that grows closer

Is a mind full of mem'ries we made years ago.



Hey Willie, let's pack up and catch us a slow train

Go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day

Where stars were shining in the Arizona sky

And music meant more than fortune or fame.



--- Instrumental ---



We rolled through the towns like a bus load of gypsies

Motels and hotels ain't no place to stay

The favors we're taking the money we're making

Won't pay for the living we're giving away.



Hey Willie let's pack up and catch us a slow train

Go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day

Where stars were shining in the Arizona sky

And music meant more than fortune or fame...
