waylon jennings - year that clayton delaney died lyrics

Loading...

i remember the day that clayton delaney died
they said for the last two weeks that he suffered and cried
it made a big impression on me although i was a barefoot kid
they said he got religion at the end and i’m glad that he did.

clayton was the best guitar picker in our town
i thought he was a hero and i used to follow clayton around
i often wondered why clayton who seemed so good to me
never took his old guitar and made it down in tennessee.

well, daddy said he drank a lot but i could never understand
i knew he used to picked up in ohio with a five piece band
clayton used to tell me son you better put that old guitar away
there ain’t no money in it it’ll lead you to an early gray.

i guess if i’d admit it clayton taught me how to drink booze
i can see him half stoned pickin’ up the lovesick blues
when clayton died i made him a promise i was gonna carry on somehow
i’d give a hundred dollars if he could only see me now.

i remember the year that clayton delaney died
n-body ever knew it but i went out in the woods and i cried
i know there’s a lotta big preachers that know a lot more than i do
but it could be the good lord likes a little picking too.

i remember the year that clayton delaney died…
