The Ballad of Jerry Jeff Walker Brooks & Dunn (Ft. Jerry Jeff Walker)

[Intro]
Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack
Yeah and he was the poet of the Lone Star state

[Verse 1]
And I was young enough
To think I was good enough to be his opening act
And in a cloud of smoke he took another toke
And counted one, two, three
And I knew right there just breathing his air
What I wanted to be

[Chorus]
Buckaroos and jaded lovers
L.A. freeway and redneck mother
Mothers who had raised a son so well
Talking outlawed, long hair loners and stoners
Singing about to come back home and
Most likely too far gone to get there

[Verse 2]
Hey, Kix, that was 76
That was just enough beer
To get us through the set
And get as high as our crowd
We got 700 miles Jerry, we gotta go
You're out of your mind;
You'll never make it on time
Why not just have another round
Oh, we were trying get paid
Just trying to get laid
Living on love
Sleeping on the stage
Just turn another page
Never thinking we'd ever grow up
