Verse 1:
(Willie)
Well I grew up lean and hungry
I worked hard for my money
Said I'm gonna live my life the way I please
I spent some time on the road of life
Saw an angel once and the devil twice
I came across some things that I don't need
Chorus:
(Willie & Waylon)
Like a cold hearted women, whiskey in my water
And only one way out of a motel room
Payments on the Cadillac, and too many questions
And old guitars that just won't stay in tune
Verse 2:
(Waylon)
You know there's good and bad breaks
You learn from your mistakes
It's all in how you handle them do's and don'ts
A hillbilly boy is hard to convice
Wild and stubborn and not much sense
But I've got enough to know what I don't want
Chorus.
And old guitars that just won't stay in tune
