California Sober Billy Strings (Ft. Willie Nelson)

[Verse 1: Billy Strings]
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

[Chorus: Both]
So I'm California sober as they say
And lately I can't find no other way
I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day
So I'm California sober as they say

[Post-Chorus: Willie Nelson]
Aw, pick it, Willie

[Verse 2: Willie Nelson]
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
