I heard the burritos out in California   Could fly higher than the birds   Roger McGuinn had a 12-string guitar   It was like nothing I'd ever heard   And Eagles flew in from the West Coast   Like the birds they were trying to be free   While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws   Like Willie and Waylon and me       Hey!      Well they say Texas music's in the make   And we been making music that is free   Doing one night stands, playing with our bands   Willie, Waylon and me      Oh Mad Dog!      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, Waylon and me      Hey!      My name is David Allen Coe and I'm from Dallas Texas      They say Texas music's in the make   And we been making music that is free   Doing one night stands, playing with our bands   Willie, Waylon and me      Big Jim!      I heard the Burritos out in California   Could fly higher than the birds   Roger McGuinn had a 12-string guitar   It was like nothing I'd ever heard   And Eagles flew in from the West Coast   Like the birds they were trying to be free   While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws   Like Willie, Waylon and me
