Never Been To Spain

Waylon Jennings · Waylon Live: The Expanded Edition [RLG] [2003]

(Hoyt Axton)



Well, I've never been to Spain

But I kinda like the music

Say the ladies are insane there

And they sure know how to use it.

They don't abuse it,

Can't refuse it,

Never gonna lose it.



Well, I've never been to England

But I kinda like the Beatles

I was headed for Las Vegas

I only made it out to Needles.

But can't you feel it,

You must believe it

'Cause it feels so good.



Well, I've never been to heaven

But I've been to Oklahoma

People tell me I was born there

Lord, I really don't remember.

In Oklahoma or Arizona

What does it matter.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I've never been to Spain

But I kinda like the music

Say the ladies are insane there

And they sure know how to use it.

They don't abuse it,

Can't refuse it,

Never gonna lose it...
