- Billy Joe and Willie! Tune sounds a bit like "Road Goes On Forever" and the music sounds like Waylon but hey, its the man -- the one and only Billy Joe Shaver and Willie, can't go wrong.
- Hudba
Billy Joe Shaver is my spirit animal
This is real gangster music.
Knowing it’s real only makes it better! I’ve spent some time in Waco beer joints, Waco will make you wacko!
What a awesome song😅🎉 I'm a paraplegic and this song makes me wanna get up and dance 🕺 !!!!!24
My opinion, one of the best song writers of all time. RIP Billy Joe🙏👍
Rest in peace ...big fan
Two dislikes,one from the guy with the bullet lodged in his neck and one from his lawyer.
Now 53, probably city people who think Billy Joe Shaver is Far right, when he is probably a standard Libertarian who wants less USA federal government stuff and more state government working.
Greatest comment ever.
One of the greatest that ever lived
@@caseysmith544 isn’t hard to have more faith in the sheriff than the feds. It’s nice to be important, it’s more important to be nice……
LMAO 😂😂😂
RIP, another Texas Legend gone.
The last of the real outlaws
Amen
Its nice to be important, more important to be nice ❤️🔥
Jesus Christ what a man !
Rest in peace, Mr. Shaver.
We’ve lost some good ones this year. This one hurts.
This song is Billy''s true version of the event that took place on that fateful night out side of the bar in Waco. Dale Watson wrote a song called "where do you want want it" It is about the same events. Whitey Morgan also has a cover of "Where do You Want It. Both awesome songs. But glad to see that Ol' Billy set everything straight.
There won't be no one like billy
Playing old music today and this came up. Dam! Luckebach, Armadillo World Headquarters, Texas outlaw music....shaped my musical tastes for life.
As a Johnny Cash, Wille Nelson Merle Haggered and Steve Earl fan. How did i just find this guy?
R.I.P Mr. Shaver, they don't make them like Billy Joe no more. An American treasure that will live on!
Damn I miss Billy Joe
RIP Sir, you were truly one of a kind!
Who the hell are the 42 people that gave a thumbs down??? Why were they even listening to this? Some people are just never happy
MyDaMnWoRd 😬 🔫
So much love to this man up there with cash and waylon for me, 33 years old lancashire England this music has brought me up and got me through some fuckery. Real men real music.
My outlaw hero. Rip Waco outlaw. Long as I live my speakers blast Billy Joe.
RIP billy joe we miss you here in Waco you will love forever thanks to Jesus.
I adore him. A bad ass, and a sweetheart. A real man.
He passed away
Billy Joe: Shot a man there in the head, can’t talk much about it.
Also Billy Joe: Sings a classic country song about it, even discussing legal fees.
I'm from Waco and proud of it!!
I am and it's a shit town. We do have koresh, twin peaks shootout, mcduff murderer lmfao. Fuck magnolia
The Art of Living, the Billy Joe paradigm
I just met Mr.Shaver last night. He's definitely the real deal, but he's so humble and down to earth. "It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice." That pretty much sums it up. That really made my night to be able to meet a real Texas hero!
He is a true great
He's like the Texans I grew up with, rough but true and truly nice... shake hands, look em in the eyes when you are speaking and hold the door for the ladies....
I hope this was played at his funeral. I never met the man and they say he could be the nicest man or a great big ol' SOB but he professed to always try to be a better man and try to follow the Creator. RIP BJS.....
God I love billy Joe shavers he doesn't take shit from anyone
I'm a wacko from Waco, ain't no doubt about it
Shot a man there in the head but can't talk much about it
He was trying to shoot me, but he took too long to aim
Anybody in my place, would have done the same
I don't start fights, I finish fights, that's the way I'll always be
I'm a wacko from Waco, you best not mess with me
Joe Jamail said I was like a fly in buttermilk
Trapped in a Waco bottle, I was bound to get kilt
Dar Jamail said, "Billy, Houston's where you need to be
If you're going back to Waco, you're leaving without me"
It's nice to be important, more important to be nice
If you're shootin' dice in Waco, you'll roll snake eyes every time
I was born in Corsicana
They said, "Billy can you do it?"
I said, "O' course I can, just point it out and I'll get right to it"
Corsicana, Texas, has been real good to me
They knew I had to shoot that man before that man shot me
I should have known the truth would set me free
I guess living down in Waco made a wacko out of me
A wacko from Waco is still on the run
A singer, a writer, a son of a gun
Don't cross him, don't boss him
Stay out of his way
Don't give him no trouble or you'll just make his day
I'm damned if I don't damned if I do
I'm a wacko from Waco I'm telling you the truth
I'm damned if I don't, damned if I do
I'm a wacko from Waco
You finally heard the truth
RIP billy joe may the outlaw live within all us Texas boys 🤘🏻
Never heard but can’t go bad with billy
This is my first Billy Joe Shaver song. How did I not come across him sooner????
Welcome my friend, never too late.
The music sounds like Waylon because Billy Joe is the one that made Waylon famous.
R.I.P Billy Joe, thankfully your songs live on.
All my favorite country singers have shot men in the face
Billy Joe slapped my hand thinking I stole his pen. True story. Got a picture of him and I..
Waylon didn't....but he did blow up a barn....
Johnny
Telling my life in a song, by the grace of god and the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, I don't live that way any more. Thank you God
did you hang out at the 'dusty SADDLE WACO' . '
with my boyfriend i was. engaged to' Mike Daniels.

Rest in peace Billy Joe. Rest in peace Jerry Jeff. Great music in an era where their type of music lives forever.

I just read his obit in the paper, is this song about the time he shot the guy in the face in 2010 that attacked him with a knife at a bar?! RIP Billy! True Country.
Billy told me that he "told the man to Eff off and he didn't so I shot him." RIP my friend
Unless he shot more than 1

Abbott Texas. Willie Nelson. Corsicana tx billy joe
👍
Sounds a lot more like Joe Ely's "Me and Billy the Kid" than "the road goes on forever"
This is what you want to put on the jukebox to prove your hillbilly bona fides.
Great harp work Micky. Song based on a true story
MyDaMnWoRd 😬 🔫
gatesville Texas
My anrhthem right here
Mocatooooooooo!!!
Let's stop right here for a second.
witness accounts, police records and the legal arguments presented all depict the other man as being armed with a knife
"I knew it was time to return fire"
Never let facts or the truth get in the way of a good story
An outlaws back story will always be slightly exaggerated, hes always a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction
