The Makin`s Of A Song Lyrics

The Makin`s Of A Song lyrics

VERSE ONE 

 (WAYLON):

 Before you pack your suitcase call your mama

 Up till now she's taught you all you need to know

 Think of me as kinda like your daddy

 Teaching you the ol' rules of the road

 

 VERSE TWO 

 (WILLIE):

 You won't be no superstar tomorrow

 You've gotta take the time to pay your dues

 When you start to feel at home out on the highway

 You're damn sure qualified to sing the blues

 

 CHORUS 

 (BOTH):

 Always send the big guy for the money

 Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong

 Even when you lose you're still the winner

 At least you've got the makin's of a song

 

 VERSE THREE 

 (WILLIE FOR FIRST TWO LINES, WAYLON FOR LAST TWO):

 Don't comprimise your feelings when they matter

 They'll come back to haunt you, don't you know?

 The songs you sing today you'll sing tomorrow

 If you don't give up the music for the show

 

 CHORUS

 

 At least you've got the makin's of a song
