[Intro]
D A D
G D
Well, I remember years a- go driving down an old dirt road
A D D7
Waylon on the radi- o singing songs that I loved so
G D
A rambling man is what he was a Nashville rebel with a cause
A D D7
He knew how ladies loved outlaws, this singer of sad songs
G D
He lived on the dark side of pain, drinking and dreaming all the way
A D
But being crazy kept him sane, now only memories re- main
G D
The good old boys still have their fun, good hearted women still get it done
A D
The eagle sores from up above, the wolf survives the man he runs
[Instrumental]
G G D D A A D D7
G D
Shooter carried the family name, and this endangered species will re- main
A D D7
You know Hank done it this way, and America's never been the same
G D
I think I'll buy an old black rose, and wear it proud upon my clothes
A D G D
To commemorate the life he chose, --- this Nashville bum the whole world knows
