Where Would I Be - 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.

Well, I guess I've been blessed with good luck and fortune
All that I have is more than enough
I've tried to work hard but it ain't been easy
But compared to most it ain't been too rough.
I've had it all Lord knows
I'm thankful the life that I lead is some kind of dream
I've got buses and trucks and stuffs that all make loud noises
Why I even own things that I ain't never seen.
And it fills me with pride when I hear them say
There goes a good ol' boy who made it through
I count my blessings with each of your kisses
When you add it all up where would I be without you.
You helped me along like an angel of mercy
My nature is such that I could've strayed
But your tender love has always controled me
Where others would leave you always have stayed.
And it fills me with pride when I hear them say
There goes a good ol' boy who made it through
I count my blessings with each of your kisses
When you add it all up where would I be without you.
Where would I be without you...
