For Waylon--wherever you are tonight

Wherever Waylon went

  That's where I wanna go

I don't care if I have to walk

  Through forty foot of snow

(or if he went where it's hot

  down below)

Wherever Waylon went

  That;s where I want to go

I wanna hear Waylon shake the blues

  Wanna hear Waylon rockin', 

Breakin' all the rules

  Actin' out the life of sin and booze

I wanna hear Waylon shake the blues

  I want it to be a hot summer night

The a/c workin' only half right

  The dance hall packed real tight

Waylon gettin' ready to shake the blues tonight

There are more outlaws here

  Than there is in jail on any night

And half of 'em wanna get into a fight

  You can see it in Waylon's eyes, he's ready, he's right

All the girls are here, ready with delight

  Because Waylon's gonna sing the blues tonight

South of town the old train whistle blew

  The silvery moon peeked through

The dance hall went silent

  Waylon hit a chord, the crowd began to riot

Waylon's shakin' the blues tonight

  Gonna make everyone feel right

Buy a one-way ticket for the very nrxt flight

  I wanna hear Waylon shakin' the blues tonight

Wherever Waylon went

  That's where I wanna go

Don't care if I have to walk

  Through forty foot of snow

Or if he went where it's hot down below

  Wherever Waylon went

That's where I wanna go

Shakin' the Blues
