Waylon Jennings - Wild Ones

Changing the tenor of my posts this morning, I bring you my first Music Interlude for this Monday and this one features the late Country Singer/Performer, Waylon Jennings, performing "Wild Ones"

"Released in 1994, “Wild Ones” is a spirited recollection of Waylon Jennings’ breakthrough as a leader of the outlaw country movement. “I remembered the times when me, Willie, and Jessi had come to town and how we had shaken up Nashville's hierarchy up in our fight to keep the music honest," Waylon recalled in his 1996 memoir, referring to his longtime friend and collaborator Willie Nelson and his wife Jessi Colter (who appears in the “Wild Ones” video)."

"Waylon Arnold Jennings (June 15, 1937 – February 13, 2002) was an American country music singer, songwriter, and musician. Jennings began playing guitar at eight and began performing at twelve on KVOW radio. He formed a band, The Texas Longhorns. Jennings worked as a D.J. on KVOW, KDAV, KYTI and KLLL. In 1958, Buddy Holly arranged Jennings' first recording session, of "Jolie Blon" and "When Sin Stops (Love Begins)". Holly hired him to play bass. During the "Winter Dance Party Tour," in Clear Lake, Iowa, Holly chartered a plane to arrive at the next venue. Jennings gave up his seat in the plane to J. P. Richardson, who was suffering from a cold. The flight that carried Holly, Richardson and Ritchie Valens crashed, on the day later known as The Day the Music Died. Following the accident, Jennings worked as a D.J. in Coolidge, Arizona and Phoenix. He formed a rockabilly club band, The Waylors. He recorded for independent label Trend Records, A&M Records before succeeding with RCA Victor after achieving creative control of his records." Lyrics.com

LYRICS:

Waylon Jennings - "Wild Ones"

Straight out of nowhere
And a little bit out of our minds
We were courting disaster
With one foot over the line

It was one for the show
And two for ol' shorty and me
We were the wild ones
We had this town up a tree

[Chorus]
We were the wild ones
The ones they couldn't control
We were survivors
Good hearts - body and soul
We were the winners
'Cause we didn't know we could fail
We were the wild ones
And we had the world by the tail

She was a lady
When a lady wasn't easy to be
Hangin' in limbo
She started hangin' with me

We were the music
'Cause we had a song we could sing
We were the wild ones
And we had the world on a string

[Chorus]

We were the wild ones
And we had the world by the tail

I hope you all enjoy it...
