I scandalized my brother while admitting that he sang some pretty songs
 I heard that he'd been scandilizing me and Lord I knew that that was wrong
 Now I'm looking at over something cool and feeling fool enough to see
 What I had called my brother, now he had every right to call on me

 Chorus:
 (Waylon & Willie)
 Don't ever cuss that fiddle,boy unless you want that fiddle out of tune
 That picker there in trouble,boy ain't nothing but another side of you
 If we ever get to Heaven, boy it ain't because we ain't done nothing wrong
 We're in this thing together so let settle down and steal each other's songs

 (Waylon Jennings)
 I found a wounded brother drinking bitterly away the afternoon
 And soon enough he turned on me like he'd done every face in that saloon
 Well we cussed him to the ground and said he couldn't even steal a decent song
 But as soon as it was spoken we were sad enough to wish that we were wrong

 Repeat chorus:
 (Waylon & Willie)

 I know that it sounds silly but I think that I just stole somebody's song

 (Waylon & Willie)
 She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
 She loves him in spite of my ways that she don't understand
 Through teardrops and laughter we'll pass through this world hand in hand
 A good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
