(Waylon Jennings)
My friends never understood my rough and rowdy ways
They think I'm the only fool my daddy ever raised
But I'm gonna shine shine shine shine see me shine
With a little luck and greenback dollar you're gonna see me shine.
Here's to the ones who do believe and disbelieve somehow
I'd give a hundred dollars Lord if they could see me now
See me shine shine shine shine see me shine
With a little luck and greenback dollar that's gonna make me shine.
I don't need fancy ladies wasting up my time
Give me tender loving care and the one that's mine
Make me shine shine shine shine shine make me shine
With a little luck and greenback dollar you're gonna see me shine.
I like living easy I like being free
Living free and easy brings out the best in me
Makes me shine shine shine shine shine make me shine
With a little luck and greenback dollar you're gonna see me shine...
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.
