performed by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.



Verse 1: (Waylon)
         D
	He's a sad song singer
             G
	He plays a gut-stringer
              A 
	With vagabond fingers
                         D
	That follow his mind

	To far away places
            G 
	He reaches for traces
              A 
	And touches the faces
                          D
	He's long left behind


Verse 2: (Waylon)
         D
	He'll keep you from knowing
                G
	Where he's been or going
          A  
	You'll see the distance
                           D
	Right there in his eyes
        
	Just short of stealing
           G                    
	He'll take your feelings
         A 
	Pull at your heart strings
                           D 
	Until they come untied


Chorus: (Waylon & Willie) 
         G                         D 
	Once was a woman who made him turn lonesome
             A                           D 
	Her memory turns over and over again
	 G                          D    
	Like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
               A                   D
	He's trying to outrun the wind


Verse 3: (Willie)
         D
	I've laughed with the sunshine
          G 
	Cried with the rains
         A
	I've had some bad nights
                               D  
	With the best of the blues

	I go on pretending
              G 
	With long haired women
           A
	But i still get crazy
                         D
	When i think of you


Chorus.
  
         G                          D
	Like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
               A                   D
	He's trying to outrun the wind
