Nathaniel Rateliff - Willie's Birthday Song lyrics
[Nathaniel Rateliff - Willie's Birthday Song lyrics]
This is a song we wrote for
A good friend of ours
We all feel he's done a lot for us
A lot for the world i hope you enjoy it
We'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-shinin'
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 promised land
His heroes are cowboys
The songs they're a-singin'
Bring joy and laughter again
Hey, Georgia, New Orleans
This song's 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
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
Well, the world's gone crazy
But we still got Willie
And all the good things he's done for us here
A good friend of ours
We all feel he's done a lot for us
A lot for the world i hope you enjoy it
We'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-shinin'
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 promised land
His heroes are cowboys
The songs they're a-singin'
Bring joy and laughter again
Hey, Georgia, New Orleans
This song's 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
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
Well, the world's gone crazy
But we still got Willie
And all the good things he's done for us here
