作曲：Troy Seals/Max D. Barnes/Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson

Before you pack your suitcase call your mama

Up to now she's taught you all you need to know

Just look at me as kinda like your daddy

Teaching you the old rules of the road

You won't be no superstar tomorrow

You've got to take the time to pay your dues

When you start to feel at home out on the highway

You're damn sure qualified to sing the blues

Always send a big guy for the money

Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong

Even when you lose you're still the winner

At least you've got the makin's of a song

Don't compromise your feelings when they matter

They'll come back to haunt you don't you know

The songs you sing today you'll sing tomorrow

If you don't give up the music for the show

Always send a big guy for the money

Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong

Even when you lose you're still the winner

At least you've got the makin's of a song

At least you've got the makin's of a song
