[ duet with Waylon Jennings ]

I met an old friend this morning and I stopped him and called him by name

I said the years haven't changed you but he said good Lord how you've changed

So we stood there and talked on the corner and remembered the good times we had

Then he asked if we're happy together and I only smiled and I said

Yes she keeps me off the streets and she keeps me out of trouble

Sometimes at night Lord when I hear the wind

I wish I was crazy again yes I wish I was crazy again

[ guitar ]

Then we stopped in at a tavern we had us a round or two

We called ourselves old desperados old deperados as old friends are likely to do

We sat for a while and remembered then he said let's have just one more

I said I'd sure like to join you but best be goin' on home

Yes she keeps me off the streets...

She keeps me off the streets...
