Waylon Jennings – “You Asked Me To” Written by Billy Joe Shaver and Waylon himself, this 1973 track off Honky Tonk Heroes is a slow-burning promise wrapped in steel guitar and worn leather. It’s about love without pride, going wherever she leads, because “I’ll go with you.” Pure outlaw heart—simple, steady, and true. #country | HonkyTonkin'TV

Remembering Billy Joe Shaver 🤠 October 28, 2020 On this day, country music lost one of its greatest songwriters — Billy Joe Shaver, the Texas poet who helped define Outlaw Country. From “Old Five and Dimers Like Me” to “You Asked Me To,” his songs shaped legends like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Jerry Jeff Walker. His words were honest, gritty, and timeless — pure heart and soul. 🎶 “I’m just an old chunk of coal, but I’m gonna be a diamond someday.” #rememberingbillyjoeshaver #outlawcou
