Waylon Jennings Lyrics


Waylon personified the outlaw country movement of the '70s.
Though he had been a professional musician since the late
'50s, it wasn't until the '70s that Waylon, with his
imposing baritone and stripped-down, updated honky-tonk,
became a superstar. Jennings rejected the conventions of
Nashville, refusing to record with the industry's legions
of studio musicians and insisting that his music never
resemble the string-laden, pop-inflected sounds that were
coming out of Nashville in the '60s and '70s. Many artists,
including Willie Nelson More...

Review about Waylon Jennings songs
Most memorable song - no one ever heard | Reviewer: BeyondMom
    ------ About the song Revelation performed by Waylon Jennings

I have had this song in my mind for nearly 40 years. I have never been able to forget it. I, too have wanted to buy it all of this time. I am hoping that I can buy it on iTunes. Either way, I wish it got more play time on country stations.

What this song means to me | Reviewer: Steve Van Hoose
    ------ About the song Amanda performed by Waylon Jennings

I've been a Bluegrass/Country performer for about 30 years now. Amanda was the VERY first song I ever sang before an audience. My knees were knocking together as I sang, but when I finished, everyone whooped and hollared, and a ham was born. Hearing that song always brings back that memory. Will miss you Waylon.

Every lusting word she said | Reviewer: Pip
    ------ About the song Right For The Time performed by Waylon Jennings

SORRY WAYLON, BUT THIS IS HOW I SAW IT

Right For The Time
------Waylon Jennings/Pip

Almost out of adolescence and into a world I didn't know
Not necessarily love but in trouble with a fire down below
Looking back for a feeling it's just something far away and long ago
I can’t recall her name and she's really someone I didn't even know

But she was right for the time
She was right for the time but time has a way of moving on

I do recall a gypsy lady and a younger man in over his head
I was her believer taken in by every lusting word she said
It was there for the first time the sweet and the bitter taste of lust
When you're young and alive too much never seems to be enough

It seems the young and the innocent are drawn “like a moth to the flame”
To the wild and the reckless believing they are one in the same
She never found a way to separate the good from the bad
And she never understood that lust was all we ever really had

She was right for the time but time has a way of moving on
With her eyes on tomorrow one day I turned around and she was gone
I'd have to say in a way I just might be better off alone
She was right for the time but time has a way of moving on

THE WONDERFUL SOUNDS OF WAYLON | Reviewer: Roger DESHON
    ------ About the song Come Back And See Me performed by Waylon Jennings

so many of the great singers - Elvis, Carl, Roy and Johnny have joined the celestial choir and among them is Waylon Jennings. As Orbison's voice touched the soul so did Waylon's - this stirring song shows that. I listen to it often and remember.

I would like to know who was the pianist. The playing is brilliant.

    ------ About the song Lady In The Harbor performed by Waylon Jennings

Many corrections in order... The following lyrics were taken from Waylon's This Time (album)version:

The snow got much to deep for me in Denver
The rain fell way to hard out in LA
I couldn't stand the sandstorms in West Texas
And that's all it took for me to be on my way

Then a friend told me about the peaches down in Georgia
He said the weather's fine boy, the livin’ sure fits your style
That's why I'm on this work gang in the hot sun.
Where the red necked judge gettin' ready for an unfair trial

---

Chorus:
But there's a lady on my mind in New York City
All alone she's burned a torch for me
She stands proud and tall in New York Harbor
And in time I know she'll see that I go free

---

The man told me I'd better change my way of livin'
He said now we got laws just made for the likes of you
Ain't got time for your kind here in this town
He just wouldn't believe that I was only passing through

Now let me be the first to say there's gotta be some changes
And he may be right some changes ought to be in me
But the same damn law that put me on this work gang
Give you and me the right to disagree

    ------ About the song Amanda performed by Waylon Jennings

when i was born my dad loved this song ..so much mum and him named me after it..As a kid my dad would get jolly and crank it and sing it to me wit such passion god bless him.. When i was a child i didnt like the song, but now as a adult I really like the words and understand where he was coming from and why he named me Amanda.... I look bak and it touches my heart when ever i think of it..

I'm gonna leave while still love you | Reviewer: Don Eichthaler
    ------ About the song I'm Gonna Leave (while I Still Love You) performed by Waylon Jennings

You took the little gifts i gave as though afraid each one contained some sort of bribe, and so the joy you might have had from someone giving cause they can has been denied, and now the frown of discontent upon your face grows deep and felt with time, and i'm gonna leave while i still love you.
I know there's no way that i can make upto you for whatever wrong, has caused you all the pain and sorrow that your heart has lived on for so long, and the wall you've built between us, higher now and harder now to climb, and i'm gonna leave while i still love you.
I wish that i could be all the reasons that you need to go on live'n, i wish that i could give you what you want so i can get what i'm not gett'n, but happiness is not a gift that i can bring you tied with pretty ribbons, and so before i'm left with only bitterness and memories of bad times, baby i'm gonna leave while i still love you, baby i'm gonna leave while i still love you.

    ------ About the song Amanda performed by Waylon Jennings

Waylon sang this to me at a concert in Owensboro, Kentucky in 1993 when I was 13. I hate country music, but my dad always liked Waylon and wanted me to go with him. My little sister and I were the youngest people at the concert as far as I could see, and Waylon talked to us between songs. When he found out my name, he sang the song to me but with different words than the Amanda song on his album.

I sure miss ol' Hoss | Reviewer: Billy
    ------ About the song Door Is Always Open performed by Waylon Jennings

About the time rock n roll took a dive and turned into disco, along came Willie and Waylon.Outlaw country music changed my life.If this isn't the best song Waylon ever recorded,it's in the top five.His songs are a far cry from what passes as country music today.
