David Allen Coe – Willie, Waylon and Me Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is full of incredible references and flat out lies. He is writing about the "Outlaw Country " and country rock of the 70's.

I heard the burritos out in California
could fly higher than the birds
Roger McGinnis had a twelve-string guitar
it was like nothing I'd ever heard

This verse references The Flying Burrito Brothers and Specifically Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman who were also members of The Byrds. He also references Roger McGuinn not McGinis the main Byrd.

and the eagles flew in from the west coast
like the birds, they were trying to be free
while in Texas, the talk turned to outlaws
like Willie and Waylon and me

This verse is obviously about The Eagles and Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.

The rest is pretty self explanatory he writes about Bob Dylan , The Beatles , The Rolling Stones , and Janis Joplin.
