Lyrics
I always heard that his herb was top shelf
Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself.
Well don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
And I’ve tried it my friend.
I’ll never smoke Weed with willie again!
Now we learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and he passed it around
The last words I spoke before they tucked me in
I may discount Bungee jump but,
I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again.
I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party’s all over before it begins
You can’t pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
We hopped on his old bus the Honeysuckle Rose
The party was Huntsville, but it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge, just me and him
I took one friendly puff and the grim creeper set in
I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party’s all over before it begins
You can’t pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
Now we’re passin’ the guitar, we’re tellin’ good jokes
I can tell one’s a comin’ ’cause I’m smellin’ smoke
No I do not partake I just let it pass by
With a grin on my face and a great contact high
I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party’s all over before it begins
You can’t pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
In the fetal position with drool on my chin
We broke down and smoked weed with Willie again
