Lyrics
… Well, I’ve had a wonderful career
But I think it’s quite queer
So I’m writin’ this down in a song
I just couldn’t resist
‘Cause it’s a nice little twist
And I think you’ll agree this is just wrong
… I ain’t never got to sing one with Willie
And I’ve held it inside long enough
Now I ain’t too proud, I’m gonna shout it out loud
I ain’t never got to sing one with Willie
… Now I’ve heard him with Merle, Waylon, and Cash
Jones and Toby, that man is totally gracious
But I’m thinking, “Damn, why not me?”
We could even sing it on TV
Just like him and old Julio Iglesias
… I ain’t never got to sing one with Willie
And I’ve held it inside long enough
Now I ain’t too proud, I’m gonna shout it out loud
I ain’t never got to sing one with Willie
… We’ve traveled back and forth
Up and down all the highways
Wherever our big buses can go
But I think that it’s great
To finally sing one with Strait
And our friends will all love it, I know
(But I’m lovin’ it, too, Willie)
… I finally get to sing one with Strait
Well, I think that it’s been long enough
I’m mighty proud, just listen to the crowd
I finally got to sing one with George Strait
… Look at me now, I’m singing with Willie
Thank you, man, you just made my career
Well, you shoulda said somethin’, Strait
I always thought we’d sound great
And I finally got to sing one with ol’ George
… Yeah, I am really proud
So I’m shoutin’ it out loud
I finally got to sing one
With ol’ George, with ol’ Willie
