SONGS LIKE YOU

Went downstairs to that underground bar
The rain came pourin' in
Splashed my way up onto the stage
And played all them drinkin' songs again
Well them old drinkin' songs are an old drunk's only friend
Everybody wants to live like ol' Jimmy Buffet used to do
But nobody wants to know just how that feels
Nobody's writin' songs anymore about getting' drunk
And screwin' snuff queen whores
And nobody's writin' songs that sound like you
My brother-in-law had some Tennessee shine
He brought down from the hills
We drank it 'till our souls warmed up
And washed the heartache down with pills
That moonshine gave us way more than our fill
Everybody wants to live like ol' Waylon Jennings used to do
But nobody wants to know just how that feels
Nobody's writin' songs about livin' in Luchenbach Texas
With firm feelin' women
And nobody's writin' songs that sound like you
Had a little girl never wanted too much
Just to hold onto somethin' dear
Left her hangin' on for dear life
Pullin' out her hair
I still remember the way that long hair smelled
Everybody wants to live like ol' Johnny Cash used to do
But nobody wants to know just how that feels
Nobody's writin' Folsom Prison Blues
Peace in the Valley or A Boy Named Sue
And nobody's writin' songs that sound like you
Nowadays all the new songs where
Somebody done somebody wrong
Lord knows that just don't quite ring true
And all the trains disappearin' down the line
From Waycross Georgia up to Caroline
And nobody's writin' songs that sound like you
Everybody wants to live like ol' Wille Nelson always will
But nobody'll ever know just how that feels
Ol' Willie's still writin' songs about
Life on the road and love gone wrong
I think he's even got a couple songs that sound like you
Ol' Willie's even got a couple songs that sound like you
