Eyes Of Waylon

When it comes to real rounders
There's only one that was better than I was
At havin' some fun
Now it's true he shows grey in his beard
Does that mean he's history
Or is he a pillar and a peer
This music called country
Somethin' we all make
No, it didn't just happen cause
Of the latest rage
Soon he was the biggest thing to come
Along in Nashville in those days
He sang his song called "Are You
Sure Hank Done It This Way"
I don't know if he did or not
But I sure know what I saw
The 1st triple platinum in that town
Was hanging on his wall
Radio will play him until the end of time
Because he's a real legend
Not the phony kind

And I looked in the eyes of Waylon
And there I saw things that
I'd never seen before
I saw a father and a brother and a friend
I saw the nights we spent
While out on the road
It's not the money, it's not the fame
It's not the ladies
And the eyes of Waylon just told me so
Yes, I looked in the eyes of Waylon
There I learned things that I better know
And if I doubted there is a hillbilly heaven
The eyes of Waylon just told me so

And if I doubted there is a hillbilly heaven
The eyes of old Waylon just told me so
