  • Billy Joe and Willie! Tune sounds a bit like "Road Goes On Forever" and the music sounds like Waylon but hey, its the man -- the one and only Billy Joe Shaver and Willie, can't go wrong.

      Now 53, probably city people who think Billy Joe Shaver is Far right, when he is probably a standard Libertarian who wants less USA federal government stuff and more state government working.

    This song is Billy''s true version of the event that took place on that fateful night out side of the bar in Waco. Dale Watson wrote a song called "where do you want want it" It is about the same events. Whitey Morgan also has a cover of "Where do You Want It. Both awesome songs. But glad to see that Ol' Billy set everything straight.

    I just met Mr.Shaver last night. He's definitely the real deal, but he's so humble and down to earth. "It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice." That pretty much sums it up. That really made my night to be able to meet a real Texas hero!

    I'm a wacko from Waco, ain't no doubt about it
    Shot a man there in the head but can't talk much about it
    He was trying to shoot me, but he took too long to aim
    Anybody in my place, would have done the same
    I don't start fights, I finish fights, that's the way I'll always be
    I'm a wacko from Waco, you best not mess with me
    Joe Jamail said I was like a fly in buttermilk
    Trapped in a Waco bottle, I was bound to get kilt
    Dar Jamail said, "Billy, Houston's where you need to be
    If you're going back to Waco, you're leaving without me"
    It's nice to be important, more important to be nice
    If you're shootin' dice in Waco, you'll roll snake eyes every time
    I was born in Corsicana
    They said, "Billy can you do it?"
    I said, "O' course I can, just point it out and I'll get right to it"
    Corsicana, Texas, has been real good to me
    They knew I had to shoot that man before that man shot me
    I should have known the truth would set me free
    I guess living down in Waco made a wacko out of me
    A wacko from Waco is still on the run
    A singer, a writer, a son of a gun
    Don't cross him, don't boss him
    Stay out of his way
    Don't give him no trouble or you'll just make his day
    I'm damned if I don't damned if I do
    I'm a wacko from Waco I'm telling you the truth
    I'm damned if I don't, damned if I do
    I'm a wacko from Waco
    You finally heard the truth
