Gary Allan - What would willie do

I was ^Dlost in trouble and strife I heard a ^Gvoice and it changed my life ^DNow it's a brand new day and I ^Aain't afraid to say You're not ^Dalone when you're down and out and I ^Gthink you know who I'm talking about

I ^Aask myself ^GWhat would ^AWillie ^Ddo? CHORUS 1 ^DWhat would Willie do, well he'd travel so far with ^Gnothing but a song and his old guitar And a ^Dtour bus and some semi-trucks, Thirty ^Acrew men and a little bit of luck Well he loves ^Aall the people, the ugly and the randy ^Gif you don't believe me take a look at the family and they'll ^Dtell you that it's true When skies are gray ^Gwhat would ^AWillie ^Ddo?

^DWell long ago he came unto us, ^Ghis words were simple but they went right through us and the ^Dwhole world sang along but then they ^Adidn't want to hear his songs. He was ^Dgone and we thought we'd lost him but he ^Ggrew his hair and he moved to Austin, and ^Dall of the people smiled, they came to hear him sing from miles. Like a ^Gmiracle all those ^Arednecks and hippies from ^DNew York city down to ^GMississippi stood ^Dtogether and raised a brew When it's ^Aall gone wrong ^Gwhat would ^AWillie do?

^DYou know sometimes I wonder when I ain't getting nowhere just ^Gwhat would old Willie do when it all gets too much to bear ^DI can see him on his lonely old tour bus ^Ahe's got problems just like any of us Well he'd just take a ^Ddeep breath and then he'd let it all go, ^Gthen he'd take another deep breath and let it all go, and ^Dhe'd take another deep breath and he'd ^Ahold it. Aaah and I'd bet he'd feel ^Dhungry in a way that seems strange, yeah ^Ghungry for all the things that he just can't change. ^DLike the time he passed out in his own bedroom and his wife sewed him up the sheets ^Aand beat him with a broom and he forgave her ^DAnd you think that's rough well then the IRS came and they ^Gtook away all of his stuff They took his golf course, his recording ^Dstudio and he just went out and did another ^Ashow So when it's ^Gall coming down on ^Ayou better ^Gask yourself ^Gwhat would ^AWillie ^Ddo?

^DWhat would Willie do well he'd take a little time and ^Gtalk to old Rooster as he'd drive on down the line and there's ^Dmillions down that road and with a ^Aword he's gonna lighten their load He loves ^Dall the people no matter their races, hell he ^Geven had a hit country song with Julio Iglesias and ^Dthat ain't easy to do So when it's ^Aall too much ^Gwhat would Willie when the ^Dgame gets tough what would ^AWillie when they ^Dcall your bluff ^Gwhat would ^AWillie ^Ddo?
