Waylon Jennings (1937-2002) fue un reputado músico de country. Comenzó su carrera a finales de los 50 en la banda de acompañamiento de Buddy Holly (The Crickets).
Fue uno de los máximos exponentes -junto a su amigo Willie Nelson- del movimiento outlaw, que dentro del género trataba de plantar cara al mainstream popero y mercantilista que se hacía a finales de los 70 en Nashville.
Los 70 fueron su época dorada, con éxitos como "You asked me too" o "Luckemback, Texas".

************** TOO DUMB FOR NEW YORK CITY ***************
written by Waylon Jennings and Basil McDavid
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1: D When i first saw New York city
I was green down to the core
You could see my red neck glowing
For a mile or maybe more A Between the hustlers and the hookers
I must have made their day
Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd D And sent me on my way
Bridge 1:
When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged
It ain't no place to be
So i came to one conclusion A New York ain't for me
Chorus: D From sea to shining sea
And coast to coast
Somewhere in the middle
Is the land i love the most A I ain't California pretty
I can't survive the Great White Way
I'm too dumb for New York city D And too ugly for L.A.
Verse 2:
I made my way to Tinseltown
To Hollywood and Vine
Out among those pretty faces
I'd surely find a place for mine A The way i walk-the way i talk
They'll hang on every word
But don't call me,i'll call you D Was all i ever heard
Bridge 2:
In L.A. what they're thinking
Ain't what they talk about
At least in New York city A There's never any doubt
Chorus.
A I'm too dumb for New York city D And too ugly for L.A.
