FIRE RELIEF CONCERT IN AUSTIN

FIRE RELIEF CONCERT IN AUSTIN
“Roll me up and smoke me when I die”
– Willie Nelson

It’s damn dry in Texas this year Y’all

It was summer in spring and it’s still summer in fall

The big old lakes are all piss-puddle small
and the cows are eatin’ Bar-B-Q grass
the ones that are eatin’ at all

A million trees and a thousand homes
burned up in Bastrop just like dry sticks

But the stars are gathering over in Austin
Willie and George and the Dixie Chicks

Neighbors who know and care how they feel
Lovett and friends and Asleep at the Wheel

So let’s all chip in and do what we do
I’ll write a poem, what about you?
