D
I was lost in trouble and strife,
G
I heard a voice and it changed my life.
D A
Now it's a brand new day and I ain't afraid to say,
D
You're not alone when you're down and out
G
And I think you know who I'm talking about.
D A
When I don't know how I'll get through, I ask myself,
G A D
"What Would Willie Do?"
D
What would Willie do? Well he'd travel so far
G
With nothing but a song and his old guitar
D
And a tour bus and some semi-trucks,
A
Thirty crewman and a little bit of luck.
D
Well he loves all the people, the ugly and the randy.
G
If you don't believe me, take a look at the family
D
And they'll tell you that it's true.
A G A D
When skies are gray, what would Willie do?
D
Well long ago, well he came unto us.
G
His words were simple but they went right through us.
D
And the whole world sang along,
A
But then they didn't want to hear his songs.
D
He was gone, And we thought we'd lost him
G
But he grew his hair and he moved to Austin.
D
And all of the people smiled.
A
They came to hear him sing from miles.
G A
Like a miracle, all those rednecks and hippies,
D G
D
Stood together and raised a brew.
A G A D
When it's all gone wrong, What would Willie do?
D
You know, sometimes I wonder when I ain't gettin' nowhere,
G
What would old Willie do when it all gets too much to
D A
bear? And I can see him on his lonely old tour bus. He's
D
got his problems just like any of us. Well he'd just take
G
a deep breath and then he'd let it all go. And he'd take
D
another deep breath and let it all go. Then he'd take
A
another deep breath...and he'd hold it. Ahhh, and I bet
D G
he'd feel hungry in a way that seems strange. Yeah, hungry
D
for all the things he just can't change. Like the time he
passed out in his own bedroom and his wife sewed him up in
A
the sheets and beat him with a broom and he forgave her.
D
And you think that's rough, well then the IRS came and
G
they took away all of his stuff. They took away his golf
D
course and his recording studio, and well he just went out
A
and did another show.
G A G
So when it's all coming down on you, better ask yourself,
G A D
"What would Willie do?"
D
What would Willie do, well he'd take a little time,
G
And talk to old rooster as he'd drive on down the line.
D
And there's millions down that road,
A
With a word he's gonna lighten their load.
D
He loves all the people no matter their races,
G
Hell he even had a hit country song with Julio Iglesias
D A
And that ain't easy to do, so when it's all too much,
G A D
What would Willie...when the game gets tough,
G A D
What would Willie....when they call your bluff,
G A D
What would Willie do?
