Gary Allan - What Would Willie Do lyrics

Album: Alright Guys < MCA> (2001)

(Sang)
I was lost in trouble & strife,
I heard a voice & it changed my life
And now it is a brand new day,
And I aint afraid to say.
You are not alone when you are down & out
And I think you know who I am talking about
When I do not know how I will get through
I ask myself what would Willie do?

What would Willie do,
Well, he would travel so far
With nothing but a song & his old guitar
And a tour bus & some semi-trucks,
Thirty crew men & a little bit of luck
Well, he loves all the people, the ugly & the randy
If you do not believe me take a look at the family
And they will tell you that it is true
When skies are gray what would Willie do?

Well, long ago when he came unto us,
His words were simple but they went right through us
And the whole world sang along,
But then they didn´t wanna hear his songs
He was gone & we thought we would lost him
But he grew his hair & he moved to Austin
And all of the people smiled,
They came to hear him sing from miles
Like a miracle all those rednecks & hippies
From New York City down to Mississippi
Stood together & raised a brew
When it is all gone wrong what would Willie do?

(Spoken)
You know sometimes I wonder
When I aint gettin´ nowhere
What would old Willie do
When it all gets too much to bear
And I can see him on his lonely old tour bus
And he has got his problems just like any of us
Well, he would just take a deep breath
And then he would let it all go
And he would take another deep breath & let it all go
And he would take another deep breath, & he would hold it
Ah, & I bet he would feel hungry
In a way that seems strange
Yea hungry, for all the things that he just can´t change
Like the time he passed out in is own bedroom
And his wife sewed him up in the sheets
And beat him with a broom, & he forgave her
And you think that is rough,
Well, then the IRS came & they took away all of his stuff
They took his golf course & his recording studio,
And he just went out & did another show.

(Sang)
So when it is all coming down on you
You better ask yourself what would Willie do?

What would Willie do,
Well, he would take a little time
And talk to old rooster
As he would drive on down the line
And theres millions down that road,
And with a word he has going to lighten their load
He loves all the people no matter their races
Hell, he even had a hit country song with Julio Iglesias
And that aint easy to do, so when it is all too much,
What would Willie
When the game gets tough what would Willie
When they call your bluff what would Willie do?..
