[Chorus]
D
Pass me that joint, it's Willie's birthday

Wipe away all of your tears

Well, the world's gone crazy, but we still got Willie
D
And all the good things he's done for us here

It was '75, the time of the preacher

When the red-headed stranger appeared
Rode into town, blue eyes a-shinin'

His memories measured in tears

Hey Nashville, hey, Austin, he's playing the songs we hold dear

Now, for all of these years

And all the good things he's done for us here
