Waylon Jennings – Deep In The West Lyrics
Deep in the west where the tall mountains grow I’ve gone home
Where the heavens above turn red from the fire down below
Are you listening to me when I’m talking to you
Said together we’re one divided we’re through
Divided we’re through

Silver friend at night yellow friend you come with the dawn
Back in my heart I’ve been drying my eyes see me run
So you hang on to me and I’ll hang on to you
Said together we’re one divided we’re through
Divided we’re through

Refusing to talk I suppose that it’s all for love’s sake
And learning to give that’s important before you can take from me
Are you listening to me when I’m talking to you
Said together we’re one divided we’re through

So you hang on to me and I’ll hang on to you
Said together we’re one divided we’re through
Divided we’re through
When he was eight years old
