There's 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.
Ask me in that joint, it's Willie's birthday.
Wipe away all of [A] your tears.
Well, the world's gone crazy, but we still got Willie and all the good things he's [D] done
for us here.
It was 75, the time of the [Bm] preacher, when a red-headed stranger [A] appeared.
He rode into town, blue eyes were shining, his memories measured [D] in tears.
[G] Hey Nashville, hey Austin, he's playing the songs of [D] the old dears.
How far old [A] are these years?
[D] Ask me in that joint, it's Willie's birthday.
Wipe away all [A] of your tears.
How the world's gone crazy, but we still got Willie and all the good things he's done [D] for us here.

Our shotgun Willie, waits through whiskey rivers, living in the [A] promised land.
