Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

Well, I used to like to ramble with my good time friends and neighbors
Now I find I'd rather lie awake in bed
And I don't get to acting mean when I keep my buzzes clean
And keep the hard stuff and the whiskey from my head

Well, I guess that's just the trouble when you're always seeing double
And the lines are getting twice as hard to see
I've had years I don't recall but I'm told I had a ball
At least somebody did who looked a lot like me

So I'm California sober as they say
And lately, I can find no other way
I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day
So I'm California sober as they say

Well, I heard out in the hills they got pills to get their thrills
And they love their liquor down in New Orleans
Maybe for a New York minute sugarcane will fit the bill
But in no time flat you're out of what you need

The old crew don't get together anymore these days much ever
And some went straight and some went straight to jail
Now they're busy posting vids and just trying to raise their kids
Instead of raising holy hell and posting bail

Well, I'm California sober as they say
And lately, I can find no other way
I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day
So I'm California sober as they say

I was California sober 'til I thought the world was over
Now I'm sitting on the roadside once again
When that wagon passes by, I don't even bat an eye
'Cause the devil on my shoulder always wins
When that ol' wagon passes by, I don't even bat an eye
'Cause the devil on my shoulder always wins
