Waylon Jennings - Waymore's Blues, Part 2 Lyrics

Long time fan really miss Waylon the best voice only bested by Johnny overall they don’t make em like this anymore

Wait, there’s a part 2. I thought I had heard all his music.

he had a dead look in his eyes when he was high on drugs but not after he quit the drugs

Unreal how many songs he’s done. Now matter how deep you dig...he’s done somethin you ain’t never heard

He layed down his take on the song, often being a B.side that would break the top 100 but just that 2 weeks at 93 on the charts. Then someone would do a cover of his take and hit big with it. Happened many times. The oft times 1 hit ers all agreed Waymore did it best and did it right. Many people don't realize this man is behind most popular music sounds of his time and for a long time after, plus he could sing as good as a professional classical artist ,had uncanny range in his vocals, but on the very top is his pure musical prowess. A guitar pickers picker, watched One earlier called RARE FOOTAGE 1975 outlaw Waylon, Ramblin man. I think this was recorded as a showcase of the sound he developed and names outlaw country to the music labels heads. He shows up ,looks a little drunk, the band is playing already. He makes it to the end of the song ,tells the band to keep it rolling ( he had fixed the tempo already) walks back adjusts his amp tries a different pick up cord. Then plays with the bass and drummer sealing his speed then picks that guitar cool as a cucumber, at 2.27 you hear the soul man blues brothers main riff while he is playing around. Then just before the end he does something that looks impossible playing Buddy Holy style but Waylon I zed. Cool video, Va.Hoss is the channel. Check it out if you haven't yet. It's worth it. This guy had it all and was the best in his field. It took his own sound to send him to stardom. I heard he told them all "I'm the best. " no one disagreed with him that I know of. Maybe 1 or 2 who didn't live to tell anyone about it did, lack of knowledge, a proud look , those qualities do not find favor amoung the enlightened. He just let them fly away .......

Couldn't make out with the credit card with that cat house over there....... that's the only part I don't really understand please explain

When it comes to women boys I like to keep one in reserve... Now that I do understand LOL

I think he means is that the whore house wouldn't take credit cards.

@pecvillian OHHH MEANING YOU HAD TO PAY CASH....YEAH I GUESS THEY DIDNT TAKE CREDIT CARDS BACK THEN...ILL ASK KRAFT LOL

@Terrance Bennett LOL.

When it comes to wimen, I like to keep one in reserve! Lol bad azz

Thanks for sharing!!! love this

You are very welcome.

Awesome album! Great song! I noticed that "Waymore's Blues Part II" album and "Closing In on the Fire" album are very much different from other albums. Why is that? And those 2 albums are my favorites!

Waymore's Blues Part 2 from Wikipedia: It was recorded and released at a time in Jennings' career when he wasn't signed to any major label; Waymore's Blues (Part II) was a one-off return to RCA for the singer following short stints at MCA Records and Epic Records. It was produced by Don Was, who would lend his distinctive style of production to The Highwaymen's The Road Goes on Forever a year later. Jennings later stated, "We clicked from the start of the first take, which was the title cut," and instructed the musicians "to forget about everything they had ever heard me do."[2] He later recalled:

For his part, Don was looking at what he called my essence; he wanted to create an instrumental texture, a pad of colors, rather than having the usual trading of licks. He didn't want to lose me in a sea of arrangement. He called it impressionistic, like a painting, and when we heard "Waymore's Blues Part II" come over the speakers, I understood what he was getting at...And I was proud of that album, because it felt like I was back in command of myself, sure of my creativity, knowing I was reaching for something I hadn't done before, and finding it.[3]

In his 1996 memoir Waylon, Jennings reflected on several of the cuts:

Old Timer: "'Old Timer' was very dear to my heart, a poignant tale about an old mountain man from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, who loved a woman from St. Paul. She came to visit her brother, and they met each other in the wilds. He could never tell her he loved her..."[4]

Wild Ones: "There were things like 'Wild Ones,' where I remembered the times when me, Willie, and Jessi had come to town and how we had shaken up Nashville's hierarchy up in our fight to keep the music honest."[5]

Endangered Species: "There were more like me at one time, the song was saying, and though 'a man in love is what you want to be,' it was also talking about the way you carry yourself, and how where once the song and the performance of the song was the thing, now videos have shifted the emphasis and fantasy away from the hearing..."[5]

Waymore's Blues Part II: "I was still saying things that every macho you-don't-mess-around-with-me guy might say, but I probably didn't feel the need to live up to them much now."[5]

"You Don't Mess Around with Me" was used in the soundtrack to the movie Maverick, which also featured Jennings on "Amazing Grace". Waymore's Blues (Part II), whose title is a reference to an earlier, popular Jennings composition, reached #63 on the country charts, with no charting singles. The song "Wild Ones" was done as a music video in 1994.

Members of the Western Writers of America chose "The Old Timer" as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.[6]

OMG - listening to these lyrics, how in the heck did he manage to stay married? I know he had a lot of divorced, but the last marriage with Jesse - she must have been a saint!

@laura Johnson Well I do got another picture of Waylon kissing another lady in 1972, but that must be another outlaw bit huh?

@Mr.ManMakesLotsOfCan no but he could be kissing a fan..i am not saying he was perfect...people screw up..and around..not just people in the public eye..all i am saying is that tabloids or magazines make it out more than it is...we should just appreciate his talent not what people say about him ..which by the way ,,,may not be true...what ever the case we should not judge him by a few pics ...talk about the videos and interviews and shows he did with Jessie...and how lovingly they look at each other...what is "reported" not necessarily true...people are naive to think that all in papers and mags are the whole truth,,, no one was there to hear him give Jessie an ultimatum of him sleeping around or not...rumors ...that is all they are..and no one knows but Waylon and Jessie..so to speak of things you do not know first hand ...and to speak ill of the dead is WRONG...how would you feel if someone judged you by a photograph of yourself in a similar situation..( Eg: kissing some one other than your partner...) and it was a close friend...or relative...just saying appreciate their (Waylon and Jessie's and their happiness shown in public..tv shows etc...) talents..do not dwell on thing that quite honestly is A)none of our business and B) we DO NOT KNOW FOR A FACT... JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED...simple and honest

@laura Johnson fuck you bitch. The man wrote it in every single song he personally wrote. Just because you're too fuckin stupid to acknowledge reality doesn't mean it isn't there

@laura Johnson why are you so emotionally invested in this. Rod fuckin Stewart was getting 12 year old girls pregnant at the same damn time

“I was trifling when I met her now I’m trifling again” “Every woman she sees looks like a place I came in” -HOSS
He managed to stay married cause he wasn’t no ordinary dude he was a bad ass dude!

Rough and real bunch of photos of a terrific songwriting singing playing traveling super-star! Miracle he lived so long... wish it had been longer, up until NOW!

The guitar feedback and keys on this are right on. Couldn't be better.

Love, love, love this man!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being the "COE" fan that I am I can't believe I only started really listening to this man till around 2003, at least I finally DID get there! BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY! RIP Mr Jennings,,,,

I have been listening to Waylon since the late 1960's

Whoop whoop

Waylon was true to his form..not bought..he proved to them all with the first platnuim record on his wall and makes David Allen Coe look like a puppy..Waylon the man the father husband the music and his guitar showed them all..the real outlaw of Nashville was Waylon God dam Jennings production ...on his own..

"We got our monthly visit from the big bad david allen coe, came to town to fight the system, double parked on music row" waylon

@pecvillian me i am a baby...i was born in 67...so just started listening when i was 8/9...my parents had and still have awesome taste in music!!!LOVE THE OUTLAWS!!!!

Waylon you are the best ever

I cant believe this is first time im hearing this!

Yeah. About sums it up.

A words master

This song is sick!

What is sick about it.

pecvillian he means bad ass

Man the start of this song reeked of the sound of Sturgill Simpson!! Awesome @sturgill simpson

You got it reversed,, Sturgill reeks of Waylon !

Excuse me but I think you mean sturgill has the sound of Waylon.

Frank Kramer ..dumbass

Love this! I've never heard it before. Thank you!

+Debby Gunnell You are very welcome.

you are in for a treat

Great song, off an equally great album!  Waymore's Blues, II.  Had it first on cassette, now on CD.

Good stuff Pec ---- thanks man.

You are very welcome.

Waylon Jennings was an amazing artist, his music will never die, i love it....

AMAZING ARTIST, think of what he would say today.

Ass Hole he’d still be wondering if Hank done it this way

I feel exactly the same way !! Waylon rules

I've never had any interest in country until I stumbled upon this good ol boy. Waylon is a BMF

This song IS Waylon Jennings.
"Couldn't make out with the credit card in that cat-house over there..." LOL
No-one from today's so-called country music scene could sing these lyrics and make you believe it!!
Waylon is the King of Country!...
He was THE outlaw - thanks and RIP!! :)

Oh yeah absolutely

This is probably my favorite album of Waylon's.. it's got so many musical textures and his lyrical work is second to none.. Don Was really brought it all home in the sense of production.

@Buddyhall04 yes, he was the man, !! closest thiing to waylon is his son, cooter!

@Buddyhall04 That's for sure

There will never be another, WAYLON, never...

@Jmann7693 Yes it is

From the Waymore's Blues Part 2 album.

Yes it is a great album.

Yeah man I like this one too.
By the way Jim had all kinds of info on the one I posted the other day.

Thanks for the comment.
