Waylon Jennings - JULIE lyrics

When I married Julie she was just seventeen

Pretty as the answer to any man's dream

[ ac.guitar ]

From the start I gave Julie all the love that I've had

Though everyone told me that Julie was bad

Julie liked parties and clothes that fit tight

Drinking and dancin' around late at night

She was everything evil with the face of a child

But I sat home and waited while my Julie went wild

I had built me an empire with my own two hands

With the money and power to break any man

But with all my possessions power and gold Julie was one thing I couldn't control

I gave Julie all my money could buy begged her to love me but she wouldn't try

She'd only laugh then walk out the door

Each time she'd hurt me made me love her more

[ guitar ]

Now I'm locked in this room they say I'm insane

And I guess that I'll never see my Julie again

I'm a man with a heart and a tormented soul

And the mind that Julie drove out of control
