i could write a book about you

Singer:jennings, waylon

well

i know you like a brother. and i know you as well. there's some things we could talk about

some things we'd never tell. a few things in particular

an episode or two. i could write a book about you. big betty wore a lot of make-up. didn't she sweat a lot?

the maybelline ran like a river whenever she got hot. last time i saw betty

as best as i can recall

you were ridin' her piggyback down that motel hall. that's not the way i remember it. you're lying like a rug on the floor. the only betty that i can remember

i remember was yours. and since you brought up the subject

let's talk about your taste in art. the windows and walls and the ceilings and floors

you mighta got a little too dark. and there's a motel out in fresno

where neither one of us can go back. you had a thing about yellow and green

so you painted the whole room black. that ain't the way i remember it. seems like i had a little help. you weren't along just for the ride. you hit a few strokes yourself. well

i know you like a brother. and i know you as well. there's some things we could talk about

some things we'd never tell. a few things in particular

an episode or two. i could write a book about you. i could write a book about you.
