*************** AS THE BILLY WORLD TURNS ****************

written and performed by Waylon Jennings.



Verse 1:
      E
	You get a pen and i'll get a paper
                                       B
	We're gonna write ourselves a song

	We'll drive the poetics crazy
                                               E
	I don't think the damn thing's gonna rhyme


Verse 2:
      E 
	I got a friend and i think he's goofy
                                        B
	I guess he thinks the same about me
   
	Guess it really takes one to know one
                                            E
	And you look like an old friend of mine (kind of short red headed)


Verse 3:
      E
	Out all night and acting crazy
                                  B  
	I've been up for two whole days

	Turn me over and roll me over
                                  E 
	Wind me up for one more rhyme


Verse 4:
      E
	Well he called me friend and he called me brother
                                      B
	I called him back but he was gone (i didn't call him nothing)

	He took my songs and he took my money
                                                   E     
	But the jokes on him he's the friend of a fool,of a fool,of a fool


Verse 5:
      E
	You get a pen and i'll get a paper
                                       B
	We're gonna steal ourselves a song

	We'll drive the poetics crazy
                                    E 
	The damn thing just might rhyme



	Eat your heart out Fred Carter,Chet Atkins,Don Bowman,Grady Martin
