Karaoké California Sober Billy Strings & Willie Nelson

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

So I'm California sober as they say and lately I can't find no other way and lately I can't find no other way

I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day

I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day so I'm California sober as they say so I'm California sober as they say

Aw pick it Willie

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

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

Well I'm California sober as they say and lately I can't find no other way and lately I can't find no other way

I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day

I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day so I'm California sober as they say so I'm California sober as they say

I was California sober

I was California sober 'till I thought the world was over 'till I thought the world was over

Now I'm sittin' on the roadside

Now I'm sittin' on the roadside once again once again

When that wagon passes by

When that wagon passes by

I don't even bat an eye

I don't even bat an eye

'Cos the devil on my shoulder

'Cos the devil on my shoulder always wins always wins

When that ol' wagon passes by

When that ol' wagon passes by

I don't even bat an eye

I don't even bat an eye

'Cos the devil on my shoulder

'Cos the devil on my shoulder always wins always wins
