Waylon Jennings - Entertainer Lyrics






I am the entertainer,
I know just where I stand
Another serenader,
Another long haired man.

Today I am your champion,
I may have won your heart
But I know the game,
You'll forget my name.

I won't be here
In another year
If I don't stay
On the charts

I am the entertainer
Had to pay my price
Things I didn't know at first
I learned by doing twice.

But still they come to haunt me
Still they want their say
So I learn to dance
With my hands in my pants.

Rub my neck
And just write 'em a check
And they'll be on their way.

I am the entertainer
I've been all around the world
I played all kinds of places
Played all kinds of girls.

I don't remember faces
I don't remember names
What the hell, it's just as well
'Cause after a while
And a thousand miles
It all becomes the same.

I am the entertainer
I come to do my show
You heard my latest record
Spin on the radio.

Well, it took me years to write it
The best years of my life
It's a beautiful song
But it ran too long
Wanna have a hit
You gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05.

I am the entertainer
Idol of my age
Make all kinds of money
Boy, when I go on the stage.

They see me in the paper
And in the magazines
If I go cold
My feet get sore
Put me in the back
Of the discount rack
Like another can of beans.

I am the entertainer
I know just where I stand
Another serenader,
Another long haired man.

I am the entertainer...

    Although Billy Joel wrote and performed this song before Waylon, this song fits Waylon awfully better. Just goes to show how Waylon could take any song and make it his.
