Sweet Mother Texas is an album by Waylon Jennings, released on RCA Records in 1986.

Contents

Featuring a scant eight songs, this would be Jennings' last album for the label before his move to MCA. Released with little promotion, it contains outtakes from Jennings' recent albums, such as a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" and a version of Kris Kristofferson's "Living Legend", which would be recorded by The Highwaymen in 1990, on Highwayman 2. "Looking for Suzanne had been previously released on Waylon's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2. Sweet Mother Texas failed to chart, marking an unceremonious end of Jennings' twenty-year stay at RCA.
