written by Willie Nelson
performed by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 2nd fret.
Verse 1 (W. Nelson):
C/G F C/G You call us heathens with zero respect for the law
G We are only songwriters just writing our songs and that's all
C/G F C/G We write what we live and we live what we write is that wrong
If you think it is Mr. Music Executive
G C/G Why don't you write your own songs
Chorus (W. Nelson):
C/G G C/G And don't listen to mine,they might run you crazy
G They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too long F C/G We're making you rich and you're already lazy G C/G So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs
Verse 2 (W. Jennings):
C/G F C/G Mr. Purified Country don't you know what the whole things about
G Is your head up your ass so far that you can't pull it out
C/G F C/G The world's getting smaller and everyone in it belongs
And if you can't see that Mr. Purified Country
G C/G Why don't you just write your own songs
Chorus.
G C/G So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs
