Am                       C  
I heard the Burritos out in California 
       G                     D  
Could fly higher than the birds 
 Am                    C  
Roger McGuinn had a twelve-string guitar 
        G                       D  
It was like nothing I'd ever heard 
         Em                        D  
And the Eagles flew in from the west coast 
          Em                              D  
Like the Byrds, they were trying to be free 
          C                           G  
While in Texas, the talk turned to outlaws 
      D            C        G  
Like Willie and Waylon and me 
 
Chorus: 
            A  
Hey, well, they say Texas music's in the make 
                                      E  
And we've been making' music that is free 
 A                         D  
Doin' one-night stands, playing' with our bands 
 A         E            A  
Willie, Waylon and me - oh mad dog 
 
Piano solo
 
They say the Beatles were just the beginning 
Of everything music could be 
Just like the Stones, I was rolling along 
Like a ship lost out on the sea 
And Joplin would die for the future 
And Dylan would write poetry 
And in Texas, the talk turned to outlaws like 
Willie and Waylon and me 
 
Chorus 
 
Repeat Verse 1 and fade
