******************* WRITE YOUR OWN SONGS ********************
written by Willie Nelson
performed by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 2nd fret.
Verse 1 (W. Nelson):
You call us heathens with zero respect for the law 
We are only songwriters just writing our songs and that's all 
We write what we live and we live what we write is that wrong 
If you think it is Mr. Music Executive
Why don't you write your own songs 
Chorus (W. Nelson):
And don't listen to mine,they might run you crazy 
They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too long 
We're making you rich and you're already lazy
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs
Verse 2 (W. Jennings):
Mr. Purified Country don't you know what the whole things about 
Is your head up your ass so far that you can't pull it out 
The world's getting smaller and everyone in it belongs 
And if you can't see that Mr. Purified Country
Why don't you just write your own songs 
Chorus.
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs 
Thanks to David M. Potter (dmp12@cornell.edu) for the lyrics.
