I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again

Toby Keith's song 'I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again' is a humorous recounting of an unforgettable experience with the legendary Willie Nelson. The song narrates a series of events where Keith, curious about Nelson's renowned marijuana, decides to partake. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and comedic moments, painting a picture of Keith's overwhelming experience. The phrase 'Don't knock it til' you tried it' sets the tone for the adventure, but Keith quickly learns that Nelson's 'top shelf' herb is more than he bargained for.

The song's narrative unfolds in a small Texas town, where Keith finds himself in a situation that quickly spirals out of control. The line 'He fired up a fat boy and passed him around' captures the casual yet potent nature of the encounter. Keith's last words before succumbing to the effects are a humorous declaration that he will never smoke weed with Willie again.

Despite the overwhelming effects of the marijuana, Keith fondly recalls passing the guitar and telling jokes, even if he chooses to abstain from further indulgence. The song ends on a humorous note, with Keith in the 'fetal position with drool on my chin,' a testament to the powerful impact of Nelson's weed and a final, comedic reminder of his vow.
