1. "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys": Duet with Willie Nelson
Waylon & Willie were a force to be reckoned with and took Nashville by storm. The pair collaborated on multiple duet country albums including WWII, Take it To the Limit and Waylon & Willie. This song is easily one of their most recognizable and an easy favorite.
2. "Storms Never Last": Duet with Jessi Colter
Arguably their best duet, Jennings performed this song with his wife one last time in 2000 before passing away on February 13, 2002. The song is about the hardships of marriage which is powerful considering the trials this couple endured over the course of their relationship.
