I'm a 16 year old kid getting raised by a man in his 70s(long time family friend) bc my parent's aren't around, he preaches the lessons he was taught, shows me how to be a man and to defend myself by whatever means I need to, but never start a fight, thank you Wes!

My Dad died two days ago, he served his country with honors in Korea. He never was an outlaw type but he raised one, this song plays along with a shot of the finest in his memory. RIP VHP -Staff Srgt US Army Born1936-Died2020

From a young wild kid with a broken home to hangin with all the wrong crowds and ending up with permanent repercussions and then going to a working man starting with nothing but a nickel and a dream that one day I can change.. this song hits hard. I wish I had payed attention to pops and his music more as a kid, maybe then I’d be a different man.. but here’s to the change. Never forget where you come from on the journey.. it’ll help shape you.

It's 2022 and there's still real outlaws out here, riding solo, no family, looking for their families, making music and raising hell, Rest in peace Waylon

I wish today's country gave me this kinda chill Waylon produced with his music

Love Waylon, They're almost all gone,when Willie goes there goes the end of an era that can never be duplicated:(

This reminds me of my dad. He died at 46 living the life of an OUTLAW. And He Worshiped Waylon. And I closed my eyes and caught a glimpse of my dad in prison singing this song. I wished I could of saved my father. I'm 35 now and after 8 yrs of in and out of prison before I was 22. I can say I broke the cycle. Love you Pops

Im nobody special...just a counrty boy that likes old school music😊

New country cant hold a candle too these outlaws.

I grew up my whole life looking at pictures of my dad who played a banjo and sang in a band. I never met him. He died a little bit after I was born in a plane crash while smuggling grass out of Colombia in the 70s. His body was never recovered and all I got growing up were stories and my pictures my mom had. He was from the south and for some reason I always thought of him when I ever heard Waylon, even though I never met him. Thank you Waylon. R.I.P. Carl V Harris

I got to see Waylon's grave. I traveled back to Mesa Az where I was born. While drinking hard I always went to this gas station.. saw this old man who plays guitar .named Richard. I always through him some bucks for buskin. I drove him around a couple times to help him out. We jammed together as well. Anyway he told me Waylon's grave was up the street ..was hard to believe until we went and he found it . Richard played with Waylon a time or 2 . Amazing story alot I'm leaving out but good lord. What a wild world. Country legend .

There's something about deep dark music that makes my soul smile. Love this song

This was my dad's song. He was a great man. Served his country and lived an honorable life but was always misunderstood. God bless his soul. I miss him.

I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma ( Porter Oklahoma ) I'm black my uncle's listened to this baling hay, plowing the fields, sitting outside watching the bon fire life was a simpler time back then

I grew up with a hard-working father who worked in the oilfield since I was a baby. My mother became an aggressive alcoholic narcissist and had mentally abused me for years. Now I am a married man to a woman that I've been with for 12 years now and has a beautiful daughter. if it wasn't for my 4 best friends growing up with and working with I wouldn't be leaving this comment to show and express on how much this song means to me... brotherhood. Thank you Tyler, Tanner, Lonnie, Casey. I owe you guys my life.

I recently moved my wife and 3 children to Lubbock Texas, from a long shitty life in ohio. We now live in a town outside of lubbock just about 7 miles away from Littlefield Texas where Waylon was born and raised. Thanks to my grandfather i grew up on the old/real country music. Now when i walk out into this wide open west texas field, with a cold beer in my hand and waylon singing in the background... I totally get i. Every last word!

Waylon once said, Garth Brooks did for country music, what panty hose did for finger Fu*cling. Waylon you were right. Long live the true outlaws.

everyone wants to be an outlaw. until it's time to do outlaw shit

To who ever this song has touched God bless you all

I'm from Spain. I discovered this song today but I should have discover it years ago. I love that amazing song. Great Waylon.

Mexicans love waylon to..this is real music

By the time you realize the shit is out of hand it’s damn tough to stop and if you do it’s always calling you back. Here’s to everyone looking down the barrel of both.

Waylon is a legend. One of the few that will forever be remembered

It's time ladies and Gentlemen to turn into outlaws! Let's Bring Our Beautiful Country America Back! I know I am not the only one feeling this way! God bless you Waylon!

the greatest and toughest man i know is on his way out as im typing this. love you uncle.

Old country has a meaning its not all about money like music now.

This Outlaw shit will be added to my playlist at my funeral😂

Named my son Waylon. His daddy said how could you not like someone named after a legend 💙💚

For you dad I do forgive you I'm a man now with his own demons and I understand now the toll it takes on you. Love you pops. Can't leave my kid's yet but I look forward to seeing you happy and healthy. R.I.P Stanley Seavers my father

This song means a lot to me...I ran wild when I was a young man. "Outlaw shit" almost ruined my life. I woke up. Waylon is a national treasure.

Hello, I am writing from Turkey. Waylon is truly incredible. I am a big fan of him and his music. He has a voice that truly touches the heart. Every time I listen to Waylon, I feel like going on a long journey leaving everyone and everything behind. I hope one day I have the courage to do this... Endless love to all true outlaws. 🖤🖤🖤

I named my son River Waylon in honor of a man that's music has always been heavily influential on my life. Love all of his music but this song always spoke so many different meanings in my life.

God I miss real country... Extremely tired of what passes as country now days... Murder On Music Row

I'm not a fan of most country music, I normally just stick to heavy metal. There's just something about this older country music that I absolutely love and find some relatable. This is one of my favorite songs in the world, it just hits me down to my very core. Amazing....

If that don't bring tears to your eyes you don't have a soul my friend

Such a shame where country music is today, real country like this is what should be on our radios. Rest easy waylon, your music will never be forgotten and will remain the definition of country music for all eternity.

When a song haunts you to ur very soul, you realize the words are a reflection of ur life. Waylon even tho ur gone ur poetic words live on thru ur fans. May you and the Man in Black make heaven a more interesting place.

this was the real Heroes damn shame everyone's gone now . I'm a Cherokee Indian an when I was comen up this was the real country now it's lost I miss the old ways of life

I grew up on Waylon,,,mama would play your music every weekend as she did the cleaning and ironing,,,thank you for your grandson struggle Jennings he is following in your footsteps... May you and mama rest easy .. gonna listen to your music 4ever!!❤🎧🎶🎶🎶

Sad song from a legend. When the law is abused. A message meant for him. You can hear the hurt in his voice. Glad he wrote a song about it. RIP 🔥👏👍

Never will this get old...play it every night after work with a few bowls of weed...real talk

You know Waylon is the greatest of all time! And he said And I quote "Garth Brooks done for country music what pantyhose done for finger f:)ckin" unquote! RIP MY HERO!

Personally I feel as an African-American musician bass player who has been familiar with country music and soul music and the Beatles my entire life I do my musical journey I personally feel that Waylon Jennings is simply the most honest righteous songwriter since the Beatles him Bill withers it you know there's certain people that stand in a different class he is there I mean you know I mean you know you get Bob Dylan you know you got Hendrix great poets and great song structures but this song is a masterpiece you can interpret it so many ways with a band this incredible the foundation is so righteous I bow down to Waylon Jennings truly added utter respect for his spirit and God bless him and his music man

This is both an Anthem and an Apology.

Nobody can hold a candle to Waylon. Nobody.

They don't make em like this no more... :(

I will forever be in debt to the music that saved me and the ones that made it.

Tears at my heart .. he had a good life. We all.make mistakes My uncle loves him some waylon! Even looks like him!

rest in peace waylon... the best voice of country music

I like rock and metal but there’s something about Waylon and Johnny that gets me.

Just lost a good buddy of 20 years. Met him around 15. We were both already troubled, and acted like it. We raised hell through our teens, 20s but my buddy never gave it up. The outlaw shit never got old to him. He fit 3 lives into 35 years. I’ll never forget him. I’ll always love him. He was a brother. I just wish I could have gotten through to him.

My dad told me my grandpa was a big Waylon guy. I was around 7 when he passed but i can oddly still remember his outfit he wore every day. Black cowboy boots, polyester pants, button up shirt, leather jacket and a cowboy hat. The stories my dad tells of when he was younger my grandpa would definitely be an outlaw. Wish i had more time with him love you Grampa Floyd.

Rip daddy, Vietnam marine from Tennessee and best daddy a girl can have. Outlaw shit, I get it from you an thru the pain ya taught me to keep a smile. Love ya dad.

played this for my pa at his finnal resting place R.I.P. love and still use ur wisdome every day outlaw for ever

Waylon is a legend

Everytime I hear it, my stomach sinks. Reminds me of tough times. Yet I’ll never stop listening.

I'm 14 years old, and I past up the rap fad my friends are in and went to this stuff.

I miss my dad. This was his song. Ive been feelin lost and like im doin this on my own lately. Listening to this make me feel like my dad is lookin down on me with a smirk to get back up from this. R.i.p Wilson Atkins I love and miss you dad :'(

My God I love this version. The original will never be duplicated but there's something about this one. It's pure haunting. How I miss real country music made by real outlaws. Long live Waylon and the rest of them that made it the best music in the world.🤘

These will forever be the OUTLAWS as far as I’m concerned! RIP and God Bless too all🙏💯🇨🇦🫵

Sounds like an apology,should be an anthem....outlaw woman here, lost my outlaw man.....trying to recover from loss got in deeper...

I remember riding with my pops listening to this song. R.I.P. pops and Waylon

Modern day definition of "Outlaw". Good music doesn't die, it carries on.,.

I request this be playing before during and after my funeral service. That is all.

There's more of them out there. We just have to support them. Jamey Johnson, Sturgil Simpson, Colter Wall, etc. May it never die!!!

I'm only 35, this song is timeless, dunno how I've went so many years without it. Part of my life now, going to stay. Thanks Waylon

The spirit of a man cryin in the wilderness..Glory unto you Jesus 🙌

No one cares. But this is the first time I have heard this. I listen to an insane amount of music. From Different times & walks of life. As well as a few different languages. I must say this man has entered my Top 100 Artists. Maybe one day when I'm gone some one will read. Take all & be safe.

What a legend. If you disliked this, then don't know true country music.

Waylon was a true "Rebel" he sang the way he wanted. GOD BLESS RIP

Four of the Greatest years of my Life, working For Waylon. Never has there been a more Down to earth Man in this world. Waylon you are missed by all.

Little brotha that 70 year old man sounds like the right kind of man u need to learn as much as u can from because once there gone man there gone , there will all ways be a little bit of wisdom in his words, and u keep showing respect by shutting up and hear what he says ,, my grandpa's was a hell of a man didn't say much about WW2 only he cut genrald Patton's hair in a fox hole 4 times and that a German was a hard man to kill , To u Old guys y'all are the best thanks for helping us be free , Jayjayphatts

Just heard this song today... where has this been hiding..

Damn what a gorgeous version and vocal.....the man could flat out sing anything. Such a great baritone filled with danger,honesty, vulnerability, the whole smash.

Wayland Jennings, he drove his own ship just like so many others God bless you wayley. Thank you for the music there will never be another year thank you so much

Still getting me every time i listen to it and remember all my friends long and gone because of booze, drugs and Gear. You always saw the little guys Waylon, rest in peace brother✊

There will never be another Waylon.

Waylon Jennings- forever haunted by the death of his best friend Buddy Holly. R.I.P. Hank- we miss ya.

I can relate Waylon. I guess I'm an outlaw with you. RIP to one of the greatest outlaws the world ever seen

I'm a Jennings descended from isack n Juanita. Mom's family. Go uncle Waylon

Breaks my heart that we wont ever see or hear anything like Waylon again in our lifetime . One of a kind .

Waylon to me is more than just a great artist. He is an icon. His voice is haunting and you feel eveything he felt when he sang his songs. The greatest troubadour in music history

Waylon Jennings was always in my family members mix around 12 years old but I definitely remember them playing it all the time true out there running around days anyway just plain awesome with me now and for ever I will definitely be puten in my locked library 👍💯💯💯💯💯💯🎶

Once again I want to say thank you to country music they're giving me some of the best times of my life that's where I listen to my country music at as a teenager for their memories I'll never forget from Southern Indiana we still set around the parking lots and listen to the good old country music thank God for The Highwaymen were they are number one on our list for they are true heroes and we all love them so thank you for listening to me I might not say it good enough but I say it God Bless The Highwaymen

This song gives me chills every time.

Thanks Mayans MC, because of that serie I have discovered this GREAT song. Outlaw sh*t.

I'm not crying.....YOU'RE crying! Thank you Waylon for this masterpiece!

Moves me to tears. How could anyone thumb down?

Listen to this song atleast 3 times a day starting from like last week not sure why. :D

Best part of any song is closing your eyes and believing what you hear is pure, life at it best!

An absolute masterpiece

classic timeless song

This song is so powerful, I can't help thinking of all the foolish choices I've made in my life when I hear it.

"Don't you think this outlaw shit has gotten out of hand? What started out being a joke you all don't understand." Shitll choke me up. Rip to a legend

I am in my mid 60's....I wish I had found this man's music yrs ago. Talented and hot...the real deal.

I have my daddys" Waylon hat" from 1977 & my grandmother always made sure we watched " Cousin Waylon " & "Cousin Ronnie" when they performed on tv! ❤

Outlaw $##t catches up to a person. Busted up bones, a tatted and scarred up body and mind. A criminal record and a lot of sorrow and heartbreak! I have over one year sober now and have been off parole for almost a year! I thank Jesus everyday for not letting me die like that!

If you don't feel something in your soul when you listen to the incredible man this is something is very wrong . Wow .

A musician makes music that might get airplay and stick in ppls heads but an artist makes music that will make ppl feel they wrote the music about them and their lives.

As a kid I grew up in Foster homes and boys homes i would run away never fitting in..never wanting to follow the rules or obey law always considered myself an outlaw Those outlaw ways got me 10 years in prison.. now I'm a law abiding citizen and how I missed those old days
