Waylon Jennings and the Outlaw Movement
In the early 1970s, a new wave of country music artists began to emerge. These artists, who came to be known as the “outlaws,” were characterized by their rebellious spirit and their willingness to push the boundaries of the genre. One of the most prominent outlaws was Waylon Jennings.
Jennings was born in Littlefield, Texas, in 1937. He began playing guitar at a young age and was influenced by a wide range of musical styles, including country, rock, and blues. In the early 1960s, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a career in country music.
Jennings quickly found success in Nashville, but he soon became frustrated with the limitations of the country music establishment. He felt that the industry was too conservative and that it was stifling his creativity. In 1972, he left Nashville and moved to Austin, Texas, where he joined forces with other outlaws such as Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash.
The outlaws were a loose-knit group of artists who shared a common goal: to make country music that was honest and authentic. They rejected the slick, polished sound of mainstream country music in favor of a more raw and rootsy sound. They also wrote songs about real-life subjects, such as love, loss, and hard times.
Jennings was one of the most successful outlaws. He released a string of hit albums in the 1970s and 1980s, including “Honky Tonk Heroes” (1973), “Dreaming My Dreams” (1975), and “Are You Ready for the Country” (1976). He also starred in several films, including “The Outlaw Josey Wales” (1976) and “Smokey and the Bandit” (1977).
Jennings was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001. He died in 2002 at the age of 64.

Lyrics
“The Wurlitzer Prize (I Don’t Want To Get Over You)”
I’m not here to forget you
I’m here to recall the things we used to say and do
I don’t wanna get over you
I don’t wanna get over youI haunt the same places we used to go
Alone at a table for two
I don’t wanna get over you
I don’t wanna get over youThey ought to give me the Wurlitzer prize
For all the silver I let slide down the slot
Playin’ those songs sung blue
They help me remember you
I don’t wanna get over youA fresh roll of quarters, same old song
Missin’ you through and through
I don’t wanna get over you
I don’t wanna get over youThey ought to give me the Wurlitzer prize
For all the silver that I let slide down the slot
Playin’ those songs sung blue
They help me remember you
‘Cause I don’t wanna get over youI don’t wanna get over you
I don’t wanna get over you
