whatta ya mean he sings it better than kriso? are you saying kris' aphoristic tales are better portrayed by those with serious vocal sensibilities? oh, you ARE saying that...well, if you turn the treble way up it helps...
A fabulous song about something only a few women can do. Finding one who can makes it easy to believe that it's never gonna end! Sadly, however, it does.
'I bet you'd say Jesus looks a lot like Waylon" -Johnny Paycheck-Heavens almost as big as Texas I bet Jesus is enjoying Waylons singing right now!!! RIP Hoss
Why do we go on living ? when sadness, depression , so called bypolar , effects are considered mental sickness ? reality is that best soldiers are those with regrets beyond comprehension !
@sandhogy no sandhogy out soldiers should have no regrets, i know that killing somebody is very very hard to erase from you mind, and it is something that you can never do, but yu can tell yourself that, that was what you were supposed to do. the reason why we go on living is becaue that is what life is all about. if you go to somebody your best friend or a person who deals with depression and talk, and talk and talk maybe you can get you mind refreshed and be happy.
To whoever you are commenting to ME about about Scientology, I am NOT a Scientologist and stuff your comments where the sun don't shine. Freedom of beliefs and freedom of speech are given rights...this is a comment page on Waylon Jennings and his beautiful music you idiot!!
Just a word of warning that your friend Jim Bales is a Scientologist, and like all Scientologists, are oblivious to the abuses that go on within the organization. Scientology ruins lives, breaks up families, harasses critics, forced women in their clergy to have abortions - and this is all encouraged by Scienetology's management, not by the individuals (meaning beliefs are not involved in this).
Would it at all be possible to educate your friend about this?
Scientology not only tolerates lying but actually presents formal training in the subject:
"Purpose: To train the student to give a false statement with good TR-1. To train the student to outflow false data effectively. … The student should be coached on a gradient until he/she can lie facilely."
-L. Ron Hubbard, Intelligence Specialist Training Routine–Lying (TR-L)
@cadillacslim73 if you think that waylon sucks, then why did you come to this site. you had to look it up an decide to listen to the song and then make a remark. if you please keep those remarks to yourself
While it would be impossible for me to choose a favorite Waylon song, this is without question near the top. Several years ago my (now) ex-wife gave me the "Waylon Jennings - the RCA Years" collector set, and it is one of my most prized possessions. It is loaded with powerful lyrics, fun songs, and one of the greatest voices to ever hit the air.
Just wonder how many more great songs Waylon would have made if that plain carrying Buddy Holly, Jimmy Valient, and the Big Bopper never crashed. That crash had as much to do with Waylon's death than anything I believe.
kris wrote this. willie nelson sang duet with dyan cannon in movie " honeysuckle rose " which i thought was totally the best. first time i've heard waylon singing it. best ever. rip waylon

kris wrote this. willie nelson sang duet with dyan cannon in movie " honeysuckle rose " which i thought was totally the best. first time i've heard waylon singing it. best ever. sleep well , waylon.
Every one of Waylons video comments say the same thing, how much everyone misses him (me included) ........Think of how that makes him feel. He lived his life like we all should. Full and full speed ahead and get the most out of it while you can.
He didn't like limits to his music, we shouldn't limit things we want to do either.
Rest in Peace Brother, knowing you are still loved and alway missed.
Waylon's secret was he was a real man. You could see on his face the sorrows tribulations and ultimately strength. The Man Possessed. He was not a pretty boy but a mountain that could make you feel every word he sang. Waylon You Are Missed.
@oldtl345 you said it best, he was a REAL man, he wasnt about the show, his heart was in his music and you CAN feel it when he sings. I could listen to him all day and NEVER tire of him.. HE is GREATLY MISSED
So was Townes Van Zandt. Arguably one of the best songwriters ever. But his voice, plain as it was, could be like a punch in the stomach. I'd rather have a plain voice that can project real emotion than a trained voice that can't feel.
@mrbobevans you are nuts in this day and ageyou will not find a better femail sing than Dolly in her prime AND she did it wthout all the lights glits glamor or didgital remasterring (as George Strait calls it)
Maybe you are right about Dolly's voice. IMHO, I am only emphasizing that she is a better songwriter than singer. I have a hunch that she would agree with that.
I'm lucky enough that the local radio station plays a solid two hours of this good stuff every sunday morning...it isnt enough, but its a hell of a lot more than most
man this reminds me of that old bar that i was taken to as a kid back in the 70s i would climb up on that bar stool and drink them long neck nehi.s all day. lol funny how we remember things like that over 30 years ago. isnt it??
what utter drivel i see oosred below,of course we all know kriss wrote it but some obviously dont understand what waylon,kriss,willie,johnny were all about.
aloha meleloke, bsinbreed's diease is called 'PROJECTION" its placing his/ her shortcommings on to others. you got it exactly right. in otherwords he.she is an ashole.
Kris Kristofferson was the original singer/song writer of this song and his version is pretty awesome but waylon put his heart into the song like he did with any song that he recoreded.
I write songs and wish I could write just five or six lines as well a Kristofferson has. I did not know he was a good singer until I paid more than I should to sit about 20 feet in front of him in Boston in 2009. It was the best one-man show, just Kris, a guitar, a couple of harmonicas, and a mike. We're both 72, both played in Army clubs in Germany, both hung around Lafayette, LA, but he's like from another world. Try writing five, ten, twenty great songs, and you'll appreciate his work. JL
Kris was one of the best songwriters of all time without any doubt- but waylon sang this one better than all of em. I had to go and make this my ringback tone :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ive never understood the love affair with kristofferson, i think he is more overrated then that idiot that sang for the doors. horrible singer, and even worse song writer. me and bobbie maggee is one of the worst songs ever. thank god he has people like ted nugent and nickle back who make everone look good
Your name DEFINITELY defines you, full of bs and an inbred. Kris an overrated writer? NINJA PLEASE. And exactly how much money have YOU made writing songs? Just because your brain can't comprehend good music when you hear it doesn't mean everyone else is wrong. Go take up golf and put the crackpipe down BOY!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
oh did i offend the poor little puppet? you probably just like this crap because the radio has told you to. let me explain something to you puppet, it dosent have to be famous to be good, and likewise, it dosent mean that it is good just because its famous. give me a robert ear keen anyday. now thats a good sonwriter, but you probably dont know that, because hes not some hack actor/sex symbol. are you a david lee roth fan to? another jack ass who the woman love because he shakes his ass?
Did youcome on here just to wind ppl up? Or are you serious? If the latter, do you actually have a brain in your head? "and even worse song writer"??? Now I can take ppl disliking his voice (which I actually love) BUT... Name 5 better song writers in this genre over the last 40 yrs! Me & BBMG is one of the greatest songs ever and has been acknowledged as such; over 500 artists have covered it, all can't be wrong . Anyone is entitled to an opinion and it's seldom I'd call anyone brainless.. BUT
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
anyone will cover a song if they think they will make MONEY, its all about money. heres a quick list of better song writers, hats down. 1) waylon 2) willie, 3) david allan, 4) buddy holly, 5) hank, and hank jr 6) jimmy buffet, 7) george jones(wrote alot of his early stuff) 8) gary stewart 9) merle haggard 10) robert earl keen. there thats double do you want more? look i respect that you like him, i just think hes a little over rated. i actually dont care that he cant sing, alot of the best cant
I think Kris would prob be one of the first to tell ya there is alot "prettier" voices. But one of the worse song writers is just pure blindness. And when Kris sings the right song....he's a great singer too.
I like the 2 you mentioned as well.....but c'mon now
ok maybe the worst songwriter ever is a little harsh, but i guess im to young to remember him as a songwriter, other than an over actor. do i need to remind you people of convoy? wait let me guess, you love that crap to. i do love this song when sung by waylon, but tell me, is it really the song that is great, or waylon?
bsinbreed obviously has a self esteem problem and has to put down someone else to make himself feel important and attract attention. We may differ in our musical preferences, but No sane human being could be that far out of touch with what constitutes quality lyrics and superb presentation. Give him thumbs down and don't let him ruffle your feathers.
If Kris K was such a terrible song writer than why have so many respected musicians like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Don Williams, Janice Joplin, etc recorded his songs. I trust their opinions far more than yours.
lol mrbobevans. great point. there. im not even going to waist my time reading the other guys comment. kris was the best song writer. may he rest in peace with the rest of them. god bless.
I agre with Shoulderghost,Kris is one of the greatest writer of country songs ever ,,even better than Hank Williams,correction not one of the best ,THE BEST.

mannfm 11..."Kris didn't write songs for long that I know of. He should have never quit. ".. Mann, what are you on? I know at least 300 Kristofferson songs and not a bad one in them. Such is the beauty of his poetry that I suspect that som time in the future it'll be put on university curriculae for Englsih literature. IMHO. And he hasn't quit. At 73 he's still lining words together that I, and I'm sure you, only wish we could ever do. One of the best word-smiths I've ever read or heard.
well oys,all i know is waylon and willie are a couple god ole boys,and my heros and if u don't like that kiss my yankee a**.i've been down a few wrong roads myself,that don't make anyone a bad person.God bless em
waylon is #1. I do this song in karoke and I didn't know Tompal did it until I bought Kris' double CD where he does the songs on one and others do the same songs on another. They did Tompals version. Kris didn't write songs for long that I know of. He should have never quit.
ennings was born in Littlefield, Texas, the son of Lorene Beatrice (née Shipley) and William Alvin Jennings. When Waylon was eight, his father taught him how to play guitar, and Waylon formed his first band two years later. During his time working as a DJ, he befriended Buddy Holly. The two were inspired by the music of the Mayfield Brothers of West Texas, Smokey Mayfield, Herbert Mayfield, and Edd Mayfield. When he was twenty-one, Jennings was tapped by Holly to play bass in Holly's new band
acashfan1 how do you sleep at night?how do you live with your self?you are very hostile and very abusive.your looking to argue.your now blocked and ignored!
Why do you use the word "your" when you mean "you are." The contraction for that is "you're." acashfan1 should feel fortunate that someone so ignorant blocked her (or him).
Tompall Glasser and his bros, of "put another log on the fire" fame had a smoother more commercial version of this (more harmony and higher key) and it was on the charts fairly high around 77 or 78 when he was hangin out with Waylon. I love Waylon but I am more folkie/americanna and prefer Kris's original. For those who love this song-(a song that proved that "hillbilly" music could have real "extestential" poetry) Particularly the ladies, you might want to check out tompall's version.
whatta ya mean he sings it better than kriso? are you saying kris' aphoristic tales are better portrayed by those with serious vocal sensibilities? oh, you ARE saying that...well, if you turn the treble way up it helps...

Kris Kristofferson was the original singer/song writer of this song and his version is pretty awesome but waylon put his heart into the song like he did with any song that he recoreded.

I write songs and wish I could write just five or six lines as well a Kristofferson has. I did not know he was a good singer until I paid more than I should to sit about 20 feet in front of him in Boston in 2009. It was the best one-man show, just Kris, a guitar, a couple of harmonicas, and a mike. We're both 72, both played in Army clubs in Germany, both hung around Lafayette, LA, but he's like from another world. Try writing five, ten, twenty great songs, and you'll appreciate his work. JL

Kris was one of the best songwriters of all time without any doubt- but waylon sang this one better than all of em. I had to go and make this my ringback tone :)

ive never understood the love affair with kristofferson, i think he is more overrated then that idiot that sang for the doors. horrible singer, and even worse song writer. me and bobbie maggee is one of the worst songs ever. thank god he has people like ted nugent and nickle back who make everone look good

Your name DEFINITELY defines you, full of bs and an inbred. Kris an overrated writer? NINJA PLEASE. And exactly how much money have YOU made writing songs? Just because your brain can't comprehend good music when you hear it doesn't mean everyone else is wrong. Go take up golf and put the crackpipe down BOY!!!

oh did i offend the poor little puppet? you probably just like this crap because the radio has told you to. let me explain something to you puppet, it dosent have to be famous to be good, and likewise, it dosent mean that it is good just because its famous. give me a robert ear keen anyday. now thats a good sonwriter, but you probably dont know that, because hes not some hack actor/sex symbol. are you a david lee roth fan to? another jack ass who the woman love because he shakes his ass?

Agreed. The lyrics aint too good, but Waylon kicks the living shit out of almost anything. =)

Did youcome on here just to wind ppl up? Or are you serious? If the latter, do you actually have a brain in your head? "and even worse song writer"??? Now I can take ppl disliking his voice (which I actually love) BUT... Name 5 better song writers in this genre over the last 40 yrs! Me & BBMG is one of the greatest songs ever and has been acknowledged as such; over 500 artists have covered it, all can't be wrong . Anyone is entitled to an opinion and it's seldom I'd call anyone brainless.. BUT

anyone will cover a song if they think they will make MONEY, its all about money. heres a quick list of better song writers, hats down. 1) waylon 2) willie, 3) david allan, 4) buddy holly, 5) hank, and hank jr 6) jimmy buffet, 7) george jones(wrote alot of his early stuff) 8) gary stewart 9) merle haggard 10) robert earl keen. there thats double do you want more? look i respect that you like him, i just think hes a little over rated. i actually dont care that he cant sing, alot of the best cant

I think Kris would prob be one of the first to tell ya there is alot "prettier" voices. But one of the worse song writers is just pure blindness. And when Kris sings the right song....he's a great singer too.
I like the 2 you mentioned as well.....but c'mon now

ok maybe the worst songwriter ever is a little harsh, but i guess im to young to remember him as a songwriter, other than an over actor. do i need to remind you people of convoy? wait let me guess, you love that crap to. i do love this song when sung by waylon, but tell me, is it really the song that is great, or waylon?

bsinbreed obviously has a self esteem problem and has to put down someone else to make himself feel important and attract attention. We may differ in our musical preferences, but No sane human being could be that far out of touch with what constitutes quality lyrics and superb presentation. Give him thumbs down and don't let him ruffle your feathers.

If Kris K was such a terrible song writer than why have so many respected musicians like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Don Williams, Janice Joplin, etc recorded his songs. I trust their opinions far more than yours.

mannfm 11..."Kris didn't write songs for long that I know of. He should have never quit. ".. Mann, what are you on? I know at least 300 Kristofferson songs and not a bad one in them. Such is the beauty of his poetry that I suspect that som time in the future it'll be put on university curriculae for Englsih literature. IMHO. And he hasn't quit. At 73 he's still lining words together that I, and I'm sure you, only wish we could ever do. One of the best word-smiths I've ever read or heard.

waylon is #1. I do this song in karoke and I didn't know Tompal did it until I bought Kris' double CD where he does the songs on one and others do the same songs on another. They did Tompals version. Kris didn't write songs for long that I know of. He should have never quit.

ennings was born in Littlefield, Texas, the son of Lorene Beatrice (née Shipley) and William Alvin Jennings. When Waylon was eight, his father taught him how to play guitar, and Waylon formed his first band two years later. During his time working as a DJ, he befriended Buddy Holly. The two were inspired by the music of the Mayfield Brothers of West Texas, Smokey Mayfield, Herbert Mayfield, and Edd Mayfield. When he was twenty-one, Jennings was tapped by Holly to play bass in Holly's new band

Why do you use the word "your" when you mean "you are." The contraction for that is "you're." acashfan1 should feel fortunate that someone so ignorant blocked her (or him).

Tompall Glasser and his bros, of "put another log on the fire" fame had a smoother more commercial version of this (more harmony and higher key) and it was on the charts fairly high around 77 or 78 when he was hangin out with Waylon. I love Waylon but I am more folkie/americanna and prefer Kris's original. For those who love this song-(a song that proved that "hillbilly" music could have real "extestential" poetry) Particularly the ladies, you might want to check out tompall's version.
