The Makin's Of A Song CAPO: 1st Fret (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 (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 Waylon: Always send the big guy for the money Willie: Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong Waylon: Even when you lose you're still the winner Willie: At least you've got the makin's of a song (Willie): Don't compromise your feelings when they matter They'll come back to haunt you, don't you know? (Waylon): The songs you sing today you'll sing tomorrow If you don't give up the music for the show Waylon: Always send the big guy for the money Willie: Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong Waylon: Even when you lose you're still the winner Willie: At least you've got the makin's of a song Both: At least you've got the makin's of a song
