Endangered Species Lyrics

Waylon Jennings

Verse 1:
I made it through my rock and roll years
With a spent dream and
A few dollar bills
I don't know what I learned
I don't know what I know
And if I don't now I never will

Bridge 1:
I ain't seen it all but it's plain to see
I just might be an endangered species

Verse 2:
Like an old gray fox I know how he feels
With the new hats snapping at my heels
I ain't sure what it's all about
I ain't in but don't count me out

Bridge 2:
They all like to dance but if you want to dance with me
You might be dancing with an endangered species

Verse 3:
I wasted some time
With some women I foundA
At no time ever settlin' down
With one over here and one over there
And that's where-nobody cares

Bridge 3:
But a man in love is what I want to be
I guess-that makes me an endangered species

Bridge 3.
