About the Song

In the realm of country music, there are few names as revered as Willie Nelson and Toby Keith. These two musical icons have graced the stage for decades, captivating audiences with their unique blend of storytelling, heartfelt lyrics, and infectious melodies. While their musical styles may differ, they share a deep bond of friendship that has been celebrated in one of their most lighthearted and humorous collaborations: “I’ll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again.”

Penned by Willie Nelson, Toby Keith, and Scott Emerick, this song is a playful tale of two friends and their ill-fated encounter with some particularly potent marijuana. The song opens with Keith, a young and eager artist, eager to impress his idol, Nelson. After a show, Nelson invites Keith back to his bus for a smoke session, an offer Keith readily accepts.

However, what Keith doesn’t anticipate is the mind-altering effects of Nelson’s top-shelf herb. As the smoke fills the air, Keith finds himself in a state of complete disorientation, his senses overwhelmed by the potent strain. The song’s lyrics humorously capture Keith’s descent into a haze of paranoia and confusion, as he stumbles around Nelson’s bus, convinced that the walls are closing in on him.

Nelson, meanwhile, watches the spectacle with amusement, his weathered voice offering a steady commentary on Keith’s predicament. He playfully teases his friend, reveling in the absurdity of the situation. Despite Keith’s discomfort, there’s an underlying sense of camaraderie and affection between the two artists.

The song’s chorus perfectly encapsulates the lighthearted spirit of the track, with Keith declaring, “I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again.” This line, delivered with a mix of exasperation and endearment, serves as a testament to the power of friendship to endure even the most mind-bending experiences.

“I’ll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again” is more than just a funny song about marijuana; it’s a celebration of friendship, laughter, and the ability to find humor in even the most unexpected situations. It’s a reminder that even the most legendary figures are human, and that sometimes, the best way to connect with someone is to share a good laugh together.

As the song fades out, Keith and Nelson are left in a fit of giggles, their friendship strengthened by their shared experience. And while Keith may never pick up a joint with Willie again, he’ll certainly cherish the memory of their smoke session, a testament to the enduring power of friendship and the ability to find humor in life’s little mishaps.

Lyrics: I’ll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again

I always heard that his herb was top shelf
Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself.
Well don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
And I’ve tried it my friend.
I’ll never smoke Weed with willie again!Now we learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and he passed it around
The last words I spoke before they tucked me in
I may discount Bungee jump but,
I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again.[Chorus:]
I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party’s all over before it begins
You can pour me some Old Whiskey River my friend.
But I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again

We hopped on his old bus the Honeysuckel Rose
The party was Huntsville, it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge, just me and him
I took one friendly puff and the grim creeper set in

[Chorus]

Now we’re passin’ the guitar, we’re tellin’ good jokes
I can tell one’s a comin’ ’cause I’m smellin’ smoke
No I do not partake I just let it pass by
With a grin on my face and a great contact high

[Chorus]

In the fetal position with drool on my chin
We broke down and smoked weed with Willie again
