Django & Jimmie 
Preformed by Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard
Written by Jimmy Melton & Jeff Prince
From the album "Django & Jimmie"

Well I'm a kid with a guitar trying to play Nuages when they ask. 
Where does your style come from? 
I know what you mean, 'cause I learned to sing
Listening to Blue Yodel number 1. 
We love Hank and Lefty, Bob Wills, Ernest Tubbs and Johnny Cash,
but if we had to pinpoint the start of who we are we'd go back. 

To Django and Jimmie, Paris and Mississippi. 
A young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy. 
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie,
if not for Django and Jimmie. 

Through the 20's and 30's Jimmie sang his way to the top, 
despite of those old TB blues. 
Django was a star, he burned up a guitar 
with just two good fingers to use. 
You can't turn back time or put more sand in the glass,
but sometimes at night, I close my eyes and go back...

To Django and Jimmie, Paris and Mississippi. 
A young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy. 
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie,
if not for Django and Jimmie. 

There might not have been a Merle or a Willie,
if not for Django and Jimmie.
