The Ballad of Jerry Jeff Walker (feat. Jerry Jeff Walker)

[00:14.65] Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the stage
[00:20.53] With a Martin guitar and a six-pack
[00:26.12] Yeah, and he was the poet of the Lone Star state
[00:30.54] And I was young enough to think I was good enough to be his openin' act
[00:38.00] And in a cloud of smoke he took another toke
[00:41.40] And counted one, two, three
[00:46.01] And I knew right there just breathing his air
[00:50.12] What I wanted to be
[00:54.53] Buckaroos and jaded lovers
[00:58.29] L.A. freeway and redneck mother
[01:02.18] Mothers who had raised a son so well
[01:07.57] Talking outlawed, long hair loners and stoners
[01:14.35] Singing about to come back home and
[01:18.40] Most likely too far gone to get there
[01:24.87]
[01:30.13] Hey, Kix, that was '76
[01:33.14] That was just enough beer to get us through the set
[01:36.86] And get as high as our crowd
[01:40.89] We got 700 miles Jerry, we gotta go
[01:45.38] You're out of your mind
[01:46.60] You'll never make it on time
[01:48.89] Why not just have another round?
[01:52.46] Oh, we were trying to get paid
[01:54.74] Yes, we're trying to get laid
[01:57.29] Living on love
[02:00.99] Sleeping on the stage
[02:02.83] Just turn another page
[02:05.20] Never thinking we'd ever grow up
[02:09.56] Buckaroos and jaded lovers
[02:13.29] L.A. freeway and redneck mother
[02:16.57] Mothers who had raised a son so well (aah good boy)
[02:22.49] Talking outlawed, long hair loners and stoners
[02:28.94] Singing about to come back home and
[02:32.80] Most likely too far gone to get there
[02:40.11] Well, the way I recall the '70's
[02:43.09] We were down in Austin and the establishment were saying we were wasting our time
[02:47.11] The next thing I know, we were making more money than we could count
[02:50.52] We're all being sued by the IRS
[02:53.40] And having more fun than the law allowed
[02:56.03] Yeah, I'm talking loners and stoners
[02:59.95] And sing about to come back home
[03:05.90] And most likely too far gone to get there
[03:12.82] Yeah, they were all most likely too far gone to get there
[03:22.02] Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the stage
[03:28.05] With a Martin guitar and a six-pack
[03:34.42] Tools of the trade son
[03:35.89]
