The hit duet enjoyed three weeks on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart, beginning Feb. 21, 1976, and became one of the biggest songs off the duo’s Wanted! The Outlaws album, a certified staple of the outlaw country revolution furthered by rebel artists like Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash.
“I’d been reading an ad for Ike and Tina Turner,” Jennings said. “And it said, ‘Tina Turner singing songs about good-hearted women loving good-timing men.’ I thought, ‘What a great country song title that is!’”
"I think Connie and Jessi both were the object of that song," Nelson added. "Naturally, we started thinking about the ones who were having to put up with us at that particular time."
Following the success of the track, the two recorded an entire duet album, Waylon & Willie, in 1978, with “Mama Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” becoming a staple of “redneck rock.”
This month, the two are back together again — in a sense — as their documentary series makes its world debut at the South by Southwest Film & TV Festival in Austin, Texas. They Called Us Outlaws - The Cosmic Cowboys, Honky Tonk Heroes and Rise of Redneck Rock debuts March 15 with a 90-minute pilot focused on Jennings and the renowned Armadillo World Headquarters.
We just know Hank would be proud.
