๐ Lyrics
Well before she came along he was lonesome, ornery and mean
It was his way or the high way
But she had a way that he'd never seen
He'd been livin' hard and fast
All his takin' was takin' its toll
It took a good hearted, hard headed angel
To help him gain control
He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
Well some even cussed his name
'Cause they couldn't see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
And he said he wouldn't change for no one
Except for Jessie
Well she never tried to change him
But she loved him and gave him a son
And that ain't easy with a honky tonkin' man
Makin' music on the run
And Lord knows she was a good wife
Always good at findin' ways to right his wrongs
She was the love of his life, the inspiration for his songs
He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
And some even cussed his name
'Cause they couldn't see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
And he said he wouldn't change for no one
Except for Jessie
Oh, c'mon now
He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
Well some even cussed his name
'Cause they couldn't see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
He said he wouldn't change for no one
Except for Jessie
Oh, let's play this one Waylon, boys
Take her home
It was his way or the high way
But she had a way that he'd never seen
He'd been livin' hard and fast
All his takin' was takin' its toll
It took a good hearted, hard headed angel
To help him gain control
He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
Well some even cussed his name
'Cause they couldn't see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
And he said he wouldn't change for no one
Except for Jessie
Well she never tried to change him
But she loved him and gave him a son
And that ain't easy with a honky tonkin' man
Makin' music on the run
And Lord knows she was a good wife
Always good at findin' ways to right his wrongs
She was the love of his life, the inspiration for his songs
He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
And some even cussed his name
'Cause they couldn't see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
And he said he wouldn't change for no one
Except for Jessie
Oh, c'mon now
He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
Well some even cussed his name
'Cause they couldn't see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
He said he wouldn't change for no one
Except for Jessie
Oh, let's play this one Waylon, boys
Take her home
