Jennings Waylon A Long Time Ago Lyrics

A Long Time Ago Lyrics

Verse 1:

 I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks

 I'll admit I've taken things I never should of took

 You can read a different story in a lot of different books

 But even then you won't really know

 How it was a long time ago

 

 Verse 2:

 Women have been my trouble since I found out they weren't men

 In spite of that I stopped and took a wife now and then	    

 They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in

 I was born with a fire down below

 And I learned to fly a long time ago

 

 Verse 3:

 Don't ask me about the years I spent out in the rain

 About the ones I spent in love or the ones I spent insane

 Don't ask me who I gave my seat to on that plane

 I think you already know

 I told you that a long time ago

 

 Verse 4:

 Me and ol' Willie, Lordy we've been sold and bought

 I guess you all heard about some kind of system that we fought

 We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught

 They tried to run us off but Willie's slow

 I quit running a long time ago
