This song's going out to an American hero,
And anybody else who has ever been harassed or arrested for smoking the beautiful plant; Marijuana.
[Chorus]
Ohhh Willie Nelson's not a criminal.
He was busted with some shrooms and with weed. Outlaw deperado.
Ohhh Willie Nelson's not a criminal.
So won't you let Old Willie be free? Drinking whiskey out the bottle.
He was just average man with the plan of freedom thinking.
Good times and good vibes yo was what he was bringing.
But still the government thought Willie was a threat,
So they picked on Old Willie and put him in serious debt.
Took his house and his cars but couldn't take his guitar.
Tried to push a good man on his face in the yard,
But Willie stood strong and he can correct.
Paid off the taxman with a flag around his head
A true patriot, the one who started Farm Aid.
And made sure the farmers of today are getting fairly paid.
A rebel in his hay, still a rebel to this day
A true inspiration for the youth of today.
So I say to everybody come and pay your respect
To Willie Nelson and think where a third of your check goes.
Cause its going down the drain to fight wars over seas and enemies on scene
[Chorus: x2]
Ohhh Willie Nelson's not a criminal,
He was busted with some shrooms and with some weed.
(outlaw deperado)
Ohhh Willie Nelson's not a criminal,
So won't you let Old Willie be free?
(drinking whiskey out the bottle) on [x2]
(and it could happen to you or me).
Yo Willie Nelson, he's a legend, he smokes buds like the bubba cloud? you know the
Government, they don't like him, cause he smoked a joint on the roof of the White House.
He puffs clouds, he gets high, hes a rebel for the cause you know he feels the vibes, oh
Willie willie youre a friend of mine, wore the red bandanna like the game when he rhymes, he got
The guitar pick, you know he drinks wine, got things in common like boozin' in kind, music for
The mind, freedom of speech, blue jeans rocker flannel with the long sleeves, green trees this
And that, the simple things in life like barbecuing in the back, yard being free smoking weed
Writing books only god can judge me
[Chorus]
Ohhh Willie Nelson's not a criminal
He was busted with some shrooms and with some weed
(outlaw deperado)
Ohhh Willie Nelson's not a criminal
So won't you let old willie be free?
(drinking whiskey out the bottle)
Ohhhh
Oh Willie Nelson
Oh Willie Nelson
Busted with shrooms and with weed
Ohhhh
Oh Willie Nelson
Oh Willie Nelson
Will you let old Willie be free?
Ohhhh
