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 gotta get drunk 
And I sure do dread it 
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money 
Calling everybody honey 
And wind up singing the blues

I'll spend my whole paycheck 
On some old wreck 
And brother I can name you a few
But I gotta get drunk 
And I sure do dread it 
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

I gotta get drunk I can't stay sober 
There's a lot of good people in town
Who'd like to hear me holler 
See me spend my dollars
And I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down

There's a lot of doctors that tell me 
That I'd better start to slowin' it down
But there's more old drunkers 
Than there are old doctors
So I guess we'd better have another round

Well now I gotta get drunk 
And I sure do dread it 
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money 
Calling everybody honey 
And wind up singing the blues

I'll spend my whole paycheck 
On some old wreck 
And brother I can name you a few
Well I gotta get drunk 
And I sure do dread it 
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

Well I gotta get drunk 
And I sure do dread it 
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money 
Calling everybody honey 
And wind up singing the blues

I'll spend my whole paycheck 
On some old wreck 
And brother I can name you a few
Well I gotta get drunk 
And I sure do dread it 
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
