Willie Got Me Stoned (Live)

Oh, I'm so honored to be here to celebrate Willie's eighty-fifth birthday

One of my favorite humans in the world

So nice to be here with you guys

Willie said one time that a good song is nothin' but three chords and the truth

I don't know if he made that up, but I heard him say it

And this next song right here, it's got three chords in it

And it's a true story about one night that I got to hang out with Willie

It all started when the show was over and we were in a big line

Everybody had their arms around each other

We wеre gettin' ready to takе a bow

And everybody else was sayin' things like

"Hey, that was a great show, man" and, you know

"Beautiful crowd tonight" and, you know, it's

"Best ever," all that kind of stuff

And then Willie's right next to me and he leans over and he says

"Hey, wanna go to my house and play some poker?"

And I, I said, "Hell yeah, sounds amazing"

So this is a song I wrote, it's called "Willie Got Me Stoned and Took All My Money," here you go

Willie got me stoned and took all my money

I was fifty dollars up, but then my mind went funny

It didn't really help that I didn't know the rules of the game

And it probably didn't help that I couldn't remember my name

After Willie got me stoned and took all my cash

One high-low split, but then he kicked my ass

He gave me knuckles across the table, but then my mind went blurry

And just like a puff of smoke, all my cash went up in a hurry

After Willie got me stoned, took me for everything I had

I had to walk home, I had no money for a cab

I didn't have the heart to ask anybody for a ride

And nobody in the room seemed any condition to drive

After Willie got us stoned, he took away my mind

He sent me back to the kiddie table, he took away my pride

And now I'm sittin' here with my band again, just feelin' like a joker

Just thinkin' about how bad I really suck at playin' poker

And thinkin' about my pockets, was Willie the one who broke them?

And would I really take a toke if they rolled Willie up and they smoked him?

Hell yes, I would, and I know it might sound funny

But Willie got me stoned and took all of my

Willie got me stoned and took all my money

Willie got me stoned and took all my money

Hell yes, I would, and I know it might sound funny

But Willie got me stoned and took all

Sing along with me, of my

Willie got me stoned and took all my money

Willie got me stoned and took all my money

Hell yes, I would, and I know it might sound funny

But Willie got me stoned and took all of my money

Right on, have a great night, you guys

Nice to be here with you, thank you
