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 on'ry 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 Fender 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 Fender Telecaster and dress it in black!
Put leather all around it, so a cowboy wont scratch the back!

Says: You know how them cowboys are.
