As the 'Billy World Turns

(Waylon Jennings)

You get a pen and I'll get a paper

We're gonna write ourselves a song

We'll drive the poetics crazy

I don't think the damn thing's gonna rhyme.

--- Instrumental ---

I got a friend and I think he's goofy

I guess he thinks the same about me

Guess it really takes one to know one

And you look like an old friend of mine.

--- Instrumental ---

Out all night and acting crazy

I've been up for two whole days

Turn me over and roll me over

Wind me up for one more rhyme.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, he called me friend and he called me brother

I called him back but he was gone

He took my songs and he took my money

But the jokes on him he's the friend of a fool

Of a fool, of a fool.

--- Instrumental ---

You get a pen and I'll get a paper

We're gonna write ourselves a song

We'll drive the poetics crazy

I don't think the damn thing's gonna rhyme...
