WAYLON ON LETTERMAN! 'LIVING LEGENDS (A DYING BREED) funny song about Nashville in true Outlaw form!

Waylon Jennings performs a little bit of, "Living Legends (a dying breed)"

From Waylon Jennings’ appearance on “Late Nite with David Letterman,” Dec 1, 1983.

Waylon: "This is a song about Nashville, to see if them hillbillies have any sense of humor about themselves!"

"Living Legends (a dying breed)"

Well here’s the latest news from Nashville
Some of it a little bit rough
Like Charlie Daniels’ new day job
He’s on TV selling snuff

George Jones quit drinkin’ and the CMA
Made him #1 on their TV show
Funny thing is, he always was
But they only discovered him ‘bout a year ago

Living legends are a dying breed
There ain’t too many of ‘em left
Tell you the truth I ain’t been
Feeling real hot lately myself

Well, old Willie’s out in California
I ain’t sure he’s coming back
Him and Kris are out in Hollyweird
And they’re tryin’ to figure out how to act

Me and ol’ Johnny Cash wrote a movie
Gon’ put all the rest of ‘em to shame
Gon’ be starring Dolly Parton
We call it the “Hunch Front of Notre Dame”

Living lovers are a dying breed
You gotta love the ones you got left
Especially me ‘cause I ain’t been
Making out in a whole lot lately myself

I’m a iving legend in my own spare time
I wrote this song myself
If I’d a known it was gonna turn out this bad
I might a got myself a little bit of help
Du du du du That’s all Folks!

Written by Waylon Jennings
From the Album, "It's Only Rock & Roll" (1983 RCA Records)

Thanks to @CNKguitar and @Zac Hill for setting me straight on this one! I had it mixed up with
the song, "Living Legend", from the "Highwayman 2" album. Whooops!
