Lyrics:
Well I'd used up all my favors
Pestered all my friends
Had no one left to torture with my shitty songs again
So I Kidnapped Willie Nelson
At an Austin honky tonk
Laid him out with an Epiphone and I stuffed him in my trunk
Yea I kidnapped Willie Nelson
So he’d listen to my song
Didn't mean to hurt him but he should have sang along
Yea I kidnapped Willie Nelson
Guess he’s got bad luck
Never shoulda told me that my masterpiece did suck
Well we stayed up all night drinking
I played the song on loop
Poked him with a cattle prod but he wouldn't change his tune
So I raised my hand to strike a blow
To really make him ring
When all to my astonishment
The man began to sing
Yea I kidnapped Willie Nelson
And he listened to my song
He must have really liked it cuz he danced and sang along
Yea I kidnapped Willie Nelson
What a thing to steal
Says If I release him he will give me a record deal
Who knew an old man's femur
Would be my lucky break
I'll say he heard my song one day and things just up and changed
I'll buy myself a pardon
And he’ll sign an NDA
So I get paid
Well the sun began to rear its head
And we’d smoked up all the tree
I asked him for some last advice before I set him free
He said son your tune it ain’t half bad
But the words are kinda dumb
Quit tryna be a cowboy you ain't foolin' anyone
Yea I strangled Willie Nelson
Cuz he criticized my song
Shame he went and blew it man I thought we’d get along
Yea I strangled Willie Nelson
Good things never last
Tossed him down the well with Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash
