Summary of Waylon Jennings & Lenny Kaye's Waylon

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was born in 1937 in Lamb County, Texas. The wind sounded like the end of time to me. It was always from the west, and it drove back along Bula Highway, then around to Spade Highway, Littlefield rising out of the whirling dust like a mirage. #2 My father, who was the hardest-working man you ever met, had a lot of nicknames for me and my brother. He was constantly joking. He eventually bought himself a truck and settled down with my mother. #3 When you are born in Texas, you believe that you are a little bit taller, smarter, and tougher than everyone else. Littlefield is part of the cotton belt, and it sits between dry-land farming to the west and wet irrigation to the east. #4 My grandfather, Alfred Blevins Shipley, was a hard-working man who could get drunker than old Cooter Brown. He was the boss until he died. He drove a truck all his life, bringing fruits and vegetables back and forth from South Texas.
