[Intro]
E
[Verse]
EI never said I was an outlaw
Though people say I am
AThat some mighty big shoes to fill and I Edon't think I ever will
BBut I'll do the best I canE  
EJust because I get a little crazy
And I have been busted by the man
AAnd this here music that I'm playin' 
EWell ain't none of that makes me Waylon
BBut I'll do the best I caEn
[Chorus]
AI've got that hard drivin' music
Runnin' through my veinEs
AI love to turn it up
And bend them guitar BstringsA  
EDoes the man make the music
Does the music make the man
AI'll never be no Shaver
Or write the hits like Willie cEan
I never sBaid I was an outlaw
But I'm Ddoin' the bAest I canE  
[Verse]
EWell I've heard all about Bocephus
Goin' back to Sweet Home Alabam
Just to Aplay his kind of music and that I underEstand
When it Bcomes down to it Hank
AI'll do the best I caEn
[Chorus/Outro]
AI've got that hard drivin' music
Runnin' through my veinEs
AI love to turn it up
And bend them guitar BstringsA  
EDoes the man make the music
Does the music make the man
AI'll never sing like Johnny Cash
Or write the hits like Haggard Ecan
I never sBaid I was an outlaw
But I'm dDoin' the bAest that I caEn.

[Intro]

[Verse]

I never said I was an outlaw

Though people say I am

A E

That some mighty big shoes to fill and I don't think I ever will

B E

But I'll do the best I can

Just because I get a little crazy

And I have been busted by the man

And this here music that I'm playin'

Well ain't none of that makes me Waylon

B E

But I'll do the best I can

[Chorus]

I've got that hard drivin' music

Runnin' through my veins

I love to turn it up

B A

And bend them guitar strings

Does the man make the music

Does the music make the man

I'll never be no Shaver

Or write the hits like Willie can

I never said I was an outlaw

D A E

But I'm doin' the best I can

[Verse]

Well I've heard all about Bocephus

Goin' back to Sweet Home Alabam

A E

Just to play his kind of music and that I understand

When it comes down to it Hank

A E

I'll do the best I can

[Chorus/Outro]

I've got that hard drivin' music

Runnin' through my veins

I love to turn it up

B A

And bend them guitar strings

Does the man make the music

Does the music make the man

I'll never sing like Johnny Cash

Or write the hits like Haggard can

I never said I was an outlaw

D A E

But I'm doin' the best that I can.
