[Chorus]
          Em                   G
Yeah, I heard The Burritos out in California 
       D                    A
could fly higher than The Byrds
Em                  G
Roger McQuinn had a 12 string guitar. 
        D                      A
It was like nothing I'd ever heard
          Bm                     A
And The Eagles flew in from the west coast
          Bm                         A
Like The Byrds they were trying to be free
          G                       F#m
While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
       A          G       D
Like Willie and Waylon and me.

Hey!
 
[Verse 1]
       E                             E
Well, they that Texas music's in the make
     E                                B
And we've been making music that is free
E                            A
Doin' one night stands and playin' with our bands
  E       B         E
Willie, Waylon and me (Oh Mad Dog!)

Em                         G
They say The Beatles were just the beginning
    D                     A
of everything music could be
Em                           G
Just like The Stones I was rolling along
        D                    A
Like a ship lost out on the sea
      Bm                       A
And Joplin would die for the future
     Bm                   A
And Dylan would write poetry
        Bm                         F#m
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
      A          G         D

Hey!   My name is David Allan Coe and I'm from Dallas Texas.
