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.
