Mine isn't a Waylon song but rather one by the Possum: Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes.
I like his reference to Waylon: The Outlaw who walks through Jessie's dreams. That one always caught me off guard with it's subtle regard for another Performer. Nice touch and what's more, he did while Waylon was still with us.
Regards, Paul

Like Merle Haggard, so many of Waylon's
great songs are buried as album cuts and not
neccesarily the "hits".
Personal favorites : From the 70's "outlaw" period, "Memories of You and I"
from the Ramblin Man album.
From the 60's pre-outlaw period , a haunting ballad called "The Road" off of the
Love of the Common People album . now on CD.

There's a song on The Eagle album I've always loved called "Old Church Hymns and Nursury Rhymes". And now that I have a marvelous grandson, I love it even more!
"Singin' old church hymns and nursery rhymes,
from the days way back before my time,
with a little child upon my knee,
singin' every sweet word back to me,
look how far I've had to come,
to get back where I started from,
with a child's wisdom passing time,
Singin' old church hymns and nursery rhymes"
(written by Beth Nielsen Chapman)
Beautiful!!

Although I probably haven't heard it in over 30 years, there's an old obscure Waylon song called "Green River" that I really liked. I cann't remember the words anymore, but the melody still sticks in my mind. I think it may have been one of the songs from a movie he did back in the 60s.

I like the Nashville Rebel album, as well. I haven't had it out for a while, but isn't side one Waylon and side two movie scores? It's been a while. I'm going to have to get it dug out and re-listen.
Bob Wills is still the king, but Waylon Jennings is part of the Royal family, too.

Hey Ricky D,
"I'll Go Back to Her" is one great tune for sure. I've never heard anyone mention it before but don't you think the melody is almost the exact same as Wynn Stewart's "Donna on my Mind" except for the beat?
Hey Red,
I always liked the way Waylon did that old Gordon Lightfoot thing called "That's What You Get For Lovin' Me". He was one Hoss in whatever he did. I like that Merle Haggard thing he did, I think it was "Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down" where Mooney plays his break and Waylon say right on the record "Eat your heart out, Haggard".

I like all the classic Waylon, but America is the one that always grabs my attention:

Some have said down through history
If you last it's a mystery
But I guess they don't know
what they're talking about
From the mountains down to the sea
You've become such a habit with me
America, America
Well I come from down around Tennessee
But the people in California
Are nice to me, America
It don't matter where I may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
America, America
Chorus:
And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right to expect a little from you
Promise, and then follow through, America
And the men who fell on the planes
And lived through hardship and pain
America, America
And the men who could not fight
In a war that didn't seem right
You let them come home, America
It's home sweet home, America, America

A lot of my favorites are from the pre-outlaw era as well, Mental Revenge of course, Nashville Bum, Nashville Rebel, Green River, Pickin White Gold, Singer of Sad Songs, the list goes on and on. From the outlaw era, It'll Be Her,Mississippi Woman, Don't Let the Sun Set on You in Tulsa, The Buddy Holly Medly on the "Always Been Crazy" album, This Time, great stuff. It was such a shock for me to hear that he had passed on. He was of my earliest influences. He will be sadly, sadly missed. He was one of the greatest.
