Beans On Toast - What Would Willie Do? lyrics

Well he smokes a lot of weed
Writes a lot of songs
Played a lot of gigs and
He's still going strong
He never cut a corner on a chorus or a verse
And Dylan calls him up when
He's lost for words
I heard a lazy journalist once
Called him an outlaw
They didn't know that he invented the genre
He likes to play his country with
A healthy slice of blues
He taught Nashville a thing or two

I wanna live my life like Willie Nelson
And that's why I'm heading on the road again
Making all the difficult things simple
Making all the simple things sound sad
So if you'vе got a pocket full of sorrow
Or some troubles that you'rе going through
Roll a joint, take a toke
Head out on the highway
And ask yourself 'What would Willie do?'

He stands up for what is right
And he cares about the world
He ran a tour bus on vegetable oil
He understood that everything revolves
Around a farmer and maybe that's why he
Grows his own marijuana
And yeah he can be reckless
He's spent a lot of cash
Don't even mention the IRS
But talking about Cash
He counted Johnny as a friend
He shared a band and a joke with him

I wanna live my life like Willie Nelson
And that's why I'm heading on the road again
Making all the difficult things simple
Making all the simple things sound sad
So if you've got a pocket full of sorrow
Or some troubles that you're going through
Roll a joint, take a toke
And head out on the highway
Then ask yourself 'What would Willie do?'
And ask yourself 'What would Willie do?'
