Jennings, Waylon - What About You Lyrics






The days have been long and I have been lonesome
Recalling the dreams that never came true
Nights have been lonely but now that's all over
'Cause I've payed my debt for trusting in you.

Every day your mem'ry grows dimmer
Clouds drift away, sunshine peeps through
Every night no longer you'll haunt me
My conscience is clear, what about you?

It's hard to believe that you are the same one
That once meant so much that I loved so true
It's hard to know I've worshipped to wrong one
But I've paid for it what about you.

Every day your mem'ry grows dimmer
Clouds drift away, sunshine peeps through
Every night no longer you'll haunt me
My conscience is clear, what about you?

Every day your mem'ry grows dimmer
Clouds drift away, sunshine peeps through
Every night no longer you'll haunt me
My conscience is clear, what about you?...

    Hard to listen to that stuff coming out of Nashville today when you can listen to THIS!! Stapleton is the only Nashville artist who is writing AND PERFORMING real COUNTRY MUSIC THESE DAYS. While they have talent, they surely don't compete with the likes of THIS.

  20. L.... L....

    Such a meaningful song!!!
    Beautiful words hits Home

  21. T.... ....

    My first taste of this song is the version by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. I have it on vinyl. One of my all time favorites. This is an excellent version as well. From what I understand, the original dates back to the 40's. That is the truth I seek.

  22. P.... D....

    I hope you hear this.....Paul C.

  23. M.... L....

    Waylon sings Dr Hooks What About You. My brother sang Waylon all his life. this is how he sound. what a talent

  24. K.... D....

    Perfect! I love it. Thank you. Your fans. xox

  25. D.... S....

    Thanks again for who ever recommended this for me

  26. a.... ....

    No one sings a song like Waylon. He is right up there with the best of the best.

    a.... ....

    Waylon was the best. Greatest outlaw never to have been caught.

    a.... ....

    Waylon probably was the best of the best!

  27. R.... W....

    Anyone ever heard the Dr. Hook cover of this where Waylon sings harmonies? Worth a listen

    R.... W....

    I've heard it and I always thought it was somebody with the mixer board. I could very easily be wrong.

    R.... W....

    I cannot find Dr Hook singing this song on YouTube.

  28. M.... W....

    Awesome jam

  29. P.... G....
