When You Got Good Friends

[Verse 1] You got to love old Charlie Daniels You got to cut the rug with Wet Willie too And you got to be a fan of the Marshall Tucker Band Before I'll sit down and have a drink with you Yes, Bakersfield has got old Merle Haggard He's a bad, bad boy, yes indeed Nashville's got a million and one guitar pickers But I guess my favorite would be the CDB [Chorus] Yes there's a few good rockers in New York City Guess the big LA, it never cared for me So won't you tell all them Hollyweird writer people That it just don't make a damn When you got good friends like me [Verse 2] Never dick on good old Waylon Jennings Or Willie Nelson, Bob Wills or me Well they're playing that good old country-western You know this thing they call the Texas Swing [Chorus]
