The Most Sensible Thing - Lyrics - Waylon Jennings
Waylon Arnold Jennings was an American singer, songwriter, musician and actor. Jennings began playing guitar at 8 and began performing at 12 on KVOW radio. His first band was The Texas Longhorns. Jennings worked as a D.J. on KVOW, KDAV, KYTI, and KLLL. In 1958, Buddy Holly arranged Jennings's first recording session, of âJole Blonâ and âWhen Sin Stops .â Holly hired him to play bass. In Clear Lake, Iowa, Jennings gave up his seat on the ill-fated flight that killed Holly and others to J. P. Richardson, who was suffering from a cold. The day of the flight was later known as The Day the Music Died. Jennings then worked as a D.J. in Coolidge, Arizona, and Phoenix. He formed a rockabilly club band, The Waylors. He recorded for independent label Trend Records and A&M Records, before succeeding with RCA Victor after achieving creative control.

I've taken chances on everything in my life
Even against all the odds I've rolled the dice
Count me in on any deal that comes around
Right or wrong never slowed me down.
I've always loved you silent but strong
Deep down in your heart you've always known
It's just that I've made more mistakes than any man under the sun
You're the only sensible thing I've ever done.
Never complaining back when the times were bad
Even when your faith in me was all we had
Loving me wasn't worth the price you paid
Darling, I've been wrong this is all I can say.
I've always loved you silent but strong
Deep down in your heart you've always known
It's just that I've made more mistakes than any man under the sun
You're the only sensible thing I've ever done.
You're the only sensible thing I've ever done...
