Lyric
… I always heard that his herb was top shelfLord 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 townHe fired up a fat boy and he passed it aroundThe last words I spoke before they tucked me inI may discount Bungee jump but,I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again.… I’ll never smoke weed with Willie againMy party’s all over before it beginsYou 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 RoseThe party was Huntsville, but it was after the showAlone in the front lounge, just me and himI took one friendly puff and the grim creeper set in… I’ll never smoke weed with Willie againMy party’s all over before it beginsYou 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 jokesI can tell one’s a comin’ ’cause I’m smellin’ smokeNo I do not partake I just let it pass byWith a grin on my face and a great contact high… I’ll never smoke weed with Willie againMy party’s all over before it beginsYou 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 chinWe broke down and smoked weed with Willie again
