When You Got Good Friends
(allen collins -- ronnie vanzant)
You got to love ol charlie daniels
You got to cut the rug with wet willie too
And you got to be a fan of the marshall tucker band
Before Ill sit down and have a drink with you
Yes, bakersfield has got ol merle haggard
Hes a bad, bad boy, yes indeed
Nashvilles got a million and one guitar pickers
But I guess my favorite would be the cdb
(chorus)
Yes theres a few good rockers in new york city
Guess the big la, it never cared for me
So wont you tell all them hollywierd writer people
That it just dont make a damn
When you got good friends like me
Never dick on good ol waylon jennings
Or willie nelson, bob wills or me
Well theyre playin that good ol country-western
You know this thing they call the texas swing
(chorus)

One thing is that I wasn't getting booked that well, and they had control over who got the awards, they had control over who sold. And they really did not want Willie or me, either one, to have a hit record. They wanted the money, but they didn't want us to be the ones.

If You Dont Like Hank Williams
I dig bobby dylan and I dig johnny cash
And I think waylon jennings is a table thumpin smash
And hearin joni mitchell feels as good as smokin grass
And if you dont like hank williams, honey, you can kiss my ass
Chorus:
cause I think what theyve done is well worth doin
And theyre doin it the best way that they can
Youre the only one that you are screwin
When you put down what you dont understand
I said, I dig roger miller, merle haggard; george jones
Shotgun willie nelson and them rockin rollin stones
And jerry lees still gotta be the coolest in the class
And if you dont like hank williams, honey, you can kiss my ass.
Chorus:
cause I think what theyve done is well worth doin
And theyre doin it the best way that they can
Youre the only one that you are screwin
When you put down what you dont understand
Forgot to say john prine, neil young, lyle lovett (God bless him), chris
Gantry, jerry jeff walker, and david allen coe...

Now, I was on drugs, and that didn't help a whole lot. He hated that. That was part of where Chet and I had problems, so I take complete blame for that.

I was king of the mountain for a long time, well, I don't want that no more. I like to perform every once in a while for people who want to see me, and cut albums of music that is what I'm really about.

Mainly what I learned from Buddy... was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it.

Chet loved artists. He did. But he was caught up in the system. He had two hats. He had to have 'em because he did two things: he was an artist, and he was an executive.

Besides that, I felt guilty. I thought for some reason... I was alive, and Buddy and those boys were dead, and I didn't know how, but somehow I'd caused it.
