Lord, it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar
Where do we take it from here?
Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars
It's been the same way for years
We need to change

Somebody told me when I went to Nashville
"Son, you finally got it made
"Waylon made it here, we don't think that you will"
I don't think Waylon done it their way
No, I don't think Waylon done it their way

Ten years on the road, makin' one-night stand
Speedin' my young life away
Tell me one more time just so's I'll understand:
Are you sure Waylon done it their way?
Did old Waylon really do it their way?

I've seen that world with a five-piece band
Starin' at the back side of me
Singin' my songs, one of his now and then
But I don't think Waylon done 'em their way
No, I don't think Waylon done 'em this way

[Outro]
Did old Waylon really do it that way?
Did old Waylon really do it that way?
Did old Waylon really do it that way?
Did old Waylon do it that way?
