Miscellaneous
The Makin's Of A Song
VERSE ONE
(WAYLON):
Before you pack your suitcase call your mama
Up till now she's taught you all you need to know
Think of me as kinda like your daddy
Teaching you the ol' rules of the road

VERSE TWO
(WILLIE):
You won't be no superstar tomorrow
You've gotta take the time to pay your dues
When you start to feel at home out on the highway
You're damn sure qualified to sing the blues

CHORUS
(BOTH):
Always send the big guy for the money
Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong
Even when you lose you're still the winner
At least you've got the makin's of a song

VERSE THREE
(WILLIE FOR FIRST TWO LINES, WAYLON FOR LAST TWO):
Don't comprimise your feelings when they matter
They'll come back to haunt you, don't you know?
The songs you sing today you'll sing tomorrow
If you don't give up the music for the show

CHORUS

At least you've got the makin's of a song
