C
Now Waylon is a singer a record sellin' star.
                 G           C
The ladies love him and his band.
C
Oh he sings like a bird and he plays a fine guitar,
       D                             G
But I doubt that he's a home lovin' man.

C
You oughta see his woman she's really a queen.
                 G          C
He buys her the finest of clothes.
C
For you talk about beauties like none you ain't seen.
                  G              C
When Waylon's gone she lets me know.

Chorus:
      F
When he's gone a singing I'm gone with his queen,
C              G      C   C7
Spreadin' his money around.
    F
But if you'll look for me and I can't be seen.
         C        G                C
You'll know that Waylon's back in town.

When Waylon's gone a singing I'm wearin' his suit.
I smoke his imported cigars.
I like his, woman wear out his boots.
I chauffeur his limousine cars.

When he's making money he has to stay gone,
but if you should hear that he's around.
Go buy his latest record or go see his show.
Help me keep ol' Waylon out of town.
