Weed With Willie

Описание: Weed With Willie

Recorded by Toby Keith

This is a live performance of Weed With Willie, recorded at Stagecoach Saloon in Franktown, Colorado, on December 23, 2025.

This song is based on a true story. Toby Keith told it often. One night in Las Vegas, he stopped by the Hacienda Hotel to see Willie Nelson play and was invited onto Willie’s bus afterward. Despite not being a regular smoker, he went along with it. Willie’s stash turned out to be industrial strength, and Keith was so wiped out he missed a midnight birthday party for Charles Barkley and was back in his hotel room asleep by 11:30.

The next morning, when friends started asking where he’d disappeared to, Keith told his co-writer Scotty Emerick, “I’m never smoking weed with Willie again.” Emerick had a similar experience of his own, and the two wrote the song the following day on a plane.

Songs like this are a reminder that country music has always had room for humor, honesty, and good storytelling right alongside heartbreak and hard miles.

More songs from this night are coming over the next few weeks.

Thanks to everyone who came out and continues to support live country music.
