LYRICS

Mr. Cash has got that lic America loves.
Hank's songs came direct from heaven above.
But the music I got strait from the hoase's mouth.
Yeah Waylon's guitar had that sound.
I got my first lesson from him around seventy-three.
He didn't lonesome or honoree to me.
He was about the nicest guy I've ever met on the road.
Yeah Waylon's guitar could carry the load.

You've gotta take that E string Hank and turn it down
You've gotta have that half time beat that walks around
Now I love Eric and Keith and theres alot of hot hands around.
But Waylon's guitar had that sound.
Yeah.

You've gotta get a Finder Telle and dress it in black.
Put leather all around it, so your buckel won't scratch the back
Now I'm into Eric and Keith and theres alot of hot hands around.
But Waylons Guitar had that sound.

You've gotta get a Finder Tellercaster and dress it in black!
Put leather all around it, so a cowboy wont scratch the back!

Says: You know how them cowboys are
