On the weed again,
I just can’t wait to get on the weed.
The life I love is getting stoned with my friends.
An I can’t wait to get on the weed again.

On the weed again
Getting higher than I’ve ever been
Seein’ things that I may never see again
And I can’t wait to get on the weed again.

On the weed again
Like a band of hippies, we go up the high way.
We’re the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turned on our way

And our way
Is on the weed again
And I can’t wait get on the weed again.
The life I love is getting stoned with my friends.
I can't wait to get on the weed again.

We’re lucky to have him for his music and luckier to have him as a role model.

The state is home to wonderful people and places. It's not all truck balls and open carry low T clinics, they just tend to yell the loudest

His music is fantastic (and I'm not a huge country fan), his politics align right there with mine, and he's just a wonderful person to be around. I was privileged to see him in concert a few years back at an outdoor forum. I was in row #3, seat one. And Willie came down to congratulate me and hubby for our anniversary. I love him!

lately at his birthday party last year, and then just last week in Santa Barbara. He seems to be getting better...in very fine voice last week. And his guitar playing....mercy! Nothing like him. A treasure....

Austin 1980- he asked what I was drinking I said water because I didn’t drink beer.
He sent his guy to get me my own bottle of champagne out of his limo. A charming man. ❤️🥰

SPICEWOOD, Texas (AP) — Willie Nelson ‘s Fourth of July Picnic is two-stepping out of Texas to the Philadelphia area.

The country luminary’s mostly annual mega-concert, hosted in his native Texas for most of its 50-year-history, will be held for the first time in the Northeast this July, with a bill that includes Bob Dylan and the duo of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey.

The open air amphitheater is just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia.

The lineup also includes Mavis Staples, Maren Morris and Celisse. Tickets go on sale Friday.
