Waylon Jennings
Slow Movin’ Outlaw
[Verse 1]
All your old stations are being torn down
And the high flying trains no longer roar
The floors're all sagging with boards a suffering
From not being used anymore
Things're all changing the world's rearranging
A time that will soon be no more
[Chorus]
Where has a slow moving
Once quick draw outlaw got to go?
[Verse 2]
The whiskey that once settled the dust
And tasted so fine now taste so faint
And the memories that once floated out come back stronger
More clearly with each drink you take
The women that warmed you once thought
So pretty now look haggard and old
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
The land where I travel once fashion with beauty
Now stands with scars on her face
The wide open spaces are closing in quickly
From the ways of the whole human race
And it's not that I blame them for claiming her bounty
I just wish they're taking it slow
