The habit of the drugs of Waylon Jennings became public the 25 of August 1977, when the singer was arrested in a recording studio of Nashville and accused of conspiracy and possession of cocaine with the intention to distribute it.

The charges were finally dropped (it was rumored that Jennings had thrown away the drugs before the police could issue a warrant), but the story led to the hit song “Do not think about it, this is out of Bit’s hand”.

 

“We were involved in our music, that’s why we never saw / The cars stopped, the boys left and the room was filled with law / They came running through the back door in the middle of a song / They got me for possession of something that was gone He was gone, “Jennings sings in the second verse.

Waylon Jennings – Don’t You Think This Outlaw Bit’s Done Got Out Of Hand Lyrics

 

I’m for the law and order the way it should be

This song’s about the night they spent protecting you from me

Someone called us outlaws in some old magazine

And New York sent a posse down like I ain’t ever seen

Don’t you think this outlaw bit’s done got out of hand

What started out to be a joke the law don’t understand

Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man

Maybe this here outlaw bit’s done got out of hand out of hand

 

We were wrapped up in our music that’s why we never saw

The car pulls up the boys get out and the room fills up with law

They came boundin’ through the backdoor in the middle of a song

They got me for possession for something that was gone long gone

Don’t you think this outlaw…

Don’t you think this outlaw bit’s done got out of hand
