Oh, the games people now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean, oh no.
Well, they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine, oh yeah.
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play, oh now.
Well, we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other one's to blame.
But neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame, yes it does.
--- Instrumental ---
People walkin' up to ya
Shouting glory hallelujah
Well, they wanna sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord.
Gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
Furthermore to hell with hate
Come on and get on board.
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play, oh now.
Look around and tell me what you see
What's happened to you and me
God give me the serenity
To remember who I am.
'Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
'Cause you don't give a do de dee.
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play, oh now...
Waylon Arnold Jennings (1937-2002) è stato un leggendario cantante e chitarrista statunitense, considerato uno dei pionieri del movimento outlaw country. Nato in Texas, Jennings iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '50 come musicista di supporto per diversi artisti country. Nel 1964 ottenne il suo primo successo con "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line". Nel corso degli anni '70, Jennings si affermò come figura chiave dell'outlaw country, un movimento che rifiutava le convenzioni del Nashville Sound e abbracciava uno stile più rock e indipendente. Collaborò con artisti come Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson e Johnny Cash, formando il gruppo di super-star noto come "The Highwaymen". I suoi album più importanti includono "Honky Tonk Heroes", "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean" e "Wanted! The Outlaws". Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys", "Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)" e "Good Hearted Woman". Jennings è stato un artista influente che ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella storia della musica country.
