Verse
[D]
They called him an outlaw
[G] [D]
Watasha was his name
[G]
He was a Texas guitar picker
[D]
Lead an outlaw gang
[D]
Yeah some folks down in Nashville
[A] [G] [D]
Said he'd never really amount to anything
[D]
He worked the night shift
[G] [D]
And they ran the roads all day
[G]
Looking for a party
[D]
Or any place to play
[D]
He didn't have to chase no women
[A] [G] [D]
It was all they could do to get away
Chorus
[G]
He flew higher than the eagle
[D]
That they were riding on
[D] [G]
He took that band of outlaws across the land
[D]
Sang the world his songs
[G]
Running up and down the highway
[D]
He was breaking all the rules
[D]
Yeah when Waylon came to Nashville
[G] N.C. [G]
He made outlaw music cool

(Aw, let me hear that steel guitar)
Verse
[D]
Mack told us Waylon told him
[G] [D]
His name was Soaring Eagle in the sky
[G]
Every time he'd flap his wings
We'd stand back
[D]
We'd watch that eagle fly
[D]
He always landed on his feet
[G]
Knew that Richie had the back beat
[D]
And ole Waymore he'd be singing up a storm
Chorus
[G]
He flew higher than the eagle
[D]
That they were riding on
[D] [G]
He took that band of outlaws across the land
[D]
Sang the world his songs
[G]
Running up and down the highway
[D]
He was breaking all the rules
[D]
Yeah when Waylon came to Nashville
[G] N.C.
He made outlaw music cool
