Willie's Birthday Song

Lyrics

There's a song I wrote for a good friend of ours
 We all feel he's done alot for us
 Alot for the world
 Hope you enjoy it
 I'd love for you to sing along
 Pass me that joint, it's Willie's birthday
 Wipe away all of your tears
 Well, the world's gone crazy
 But we still got Willie
 And all the good things he's done for us here
 It was '75, the time of the preacher
 When the red-headed stranger appeared
 Rode into town, blue eyes a-shining
 And his memories measured in tears
 Hey Nashville, Hey Austin
 He's playing the songs we hold dear
 Now for all of these years
 So pass me that joint, it's Willie's birthday
 Wipe away all of your tears
 Now the world's gone crazy
 But we still got Willie
 And all the good things he's done for us here
 ♪
 Now shotgun Willie wades through whiskey rivers
 Living in the promise land
 His heroes are cowboys, and the songs they're a-singing
 Bring joy and laughter again
 Hey Georgia, New Orleans
 This songs for your native son and all that he's done
 So pass me that joint, it's Willie's birthday
 Wipe away all of your tears
 Now the world's gone crazy
 But we still got Willie
 And all the good things he's done for us here
 Pass me that joint, it's Willie's birthday
 Wipe away all of your tears
 Now the world's gone crazy
 But we still got Willie
 And all the good things he's done for us here
 ♪
 Pass me that joint, it's Willie's birthday
 Wipe away all of your tears
 Now the world's gone crazy
 But we still got Willie
 And all the good things he's done for us here
 Well, the worlds gone crazy
 But we still got Willie
 And all the good things he's done for us here
