California Sober (feat. Willie Nelson) - Billy Strings/Willie Nelson

Lyrics by：Aaron Allen/Jon Weisberger/William Apostol

Well I used to like to ramble

With my good-time friends and neighbors

Now I find I'd rather lie awake in bed

And I don't get to actin' mean

When I keep my buzzes clean

And keep the hard stuff

And the whiskey from my head

Well I guess that's just

The trouble when you're always seein' double

And the lines are gettin' twice as hard to see

I've had years I don't recall

But I'm told I had a ball

At least somebody did

Who looked a lot like me

So I'm California sober as they say

And lately I can't find no other way

I can't stay out and party like

I did back in the day

So I'm California sober as they say

Aw pick it Willie

Well I heard out in the hills

They got pills to get their thrills

And they love their liquor down in new orleans

Maybe for a new york minute

Sugarcane will fit the bill

But in no time flat

You're out of what you need

The old crew don't get together anymore

These days much ever

After some went straight

And some went straight to jail

Now they're busy postin' vids

And just tryin' to raise their kids

Instead of raisin' holy hell

And postin' bail

Well I'm California sober as they say

And lately I can't find no other way

I can't stay out and party like

I did back in the day

So I'm California sober as they say

I was California sober

'Til I thought the world was over

Now I'm sittin' on the roadside once again

When that wagon passes by

I don't even bat an eye

Because the devil on my shoulder always wins

When that ol' wagon passes by

I don't even bat an eye

Because the devil on my shoulder always wins
