This is my tribute to Waylon Jennings. Like the original song it has many hidden meaning you are welcome to guess at them but I won't answer yes or no. Have fun reading this.

From out of the West Texas Bad Lands
Came a boy would forever leave his mark
He started out with his own small band
Honest music became his trademark
A friend and buddy gave him a shot
And taught him to follow his own heart
His victories were all hard-fought
Cause the brass thought him a wild upstart
But the Sheriff helped him find a way
Soon he became known as an outlaw
But the music he'd never betray
Tho some folks thought him a scofflaw
He roomed twice with the man in black
Together they teamed up with Tex and Will
And kept making returns and new tracks
Headliners all, they would share the bill
Some people looked to him as a hero
He was just a man with a good woman
Yes he had done some sinning I know
But He cleaned up before he moved on
They say he got smarter as he got older
But even early he kept the music honest
And with Jess ever at his shoulder
He loved, he sang and on life he focused
The black hat was his rebel's emblem
And stoic Leon, his stage companion
He won't be nominated for saintdom
But Heaven is his home from now on
He passed peacefully, family along side
Mr. Guitar, the Sheriff and Hank were waiting
Now together they've revived the Hayride
Where feet are tapping,'n angel's are clapping ..
