(Allen Collins -- Ronnie VanZant)

You got to love ol' Charlie Daniels


You got to cut the rug with Wet Willie too


And you got to be a fan of the Marshall Tucker Band

Before I'll sit down and have a drink with you


Yes, Bakersfield has got ol' Merle Haggard


He's a bad, bad boy, yes indeed

Nashville's got a million and one guitar pickers


But I guess my favorite would be the CDB




(Chorus)


Yes there's a few good rockers in New York City


Guess the big LA, it never cared for me

So won't you tell all them Hollywierd writer people


That it just don't make a damn


When you got good friends like me




Never dick on good ol' Waylon Jennings


Or Willie Nelson, Bob Wills or me

Well they're playin' that good ol' country-western


You know this thing they call the Texas Swing




(Chorus)
